Got the kit front the Fiero store, it's a nice kit, but I'm not sure if the short lines go up front, and the larger lines in rear..
or if the longer lines go up front, and the shorter lines in the rear..I'm not going the do the rears for about another week,
and I don't want to use the wrong ones, and have to change them latter....

There's a very easy way to find out which ones go where...check your old lines! By measuring your old lines or comparing the new ones between the front and rear, it should be quite obvious.

The longer ones are needed for the front, they need to be longer to handle when the wheels are turned in a corner.

Well I did compare the lines old/new side by side and it showed the shorter lines as matching the length
of the stock line that was up front. But when I put it on, it seemed that there should be more room.

So one of ya is wrong....Un less the previous owner of my car used both rear lines up front aswell...

It is possible that the shorter NEW line is as long as the longer OLD line...it's a proportion thing; measure the old lines to see which is longer, then measure the new lines to see which is longer, then match up long with long. The stainless lines are slightly longer than the stock lines to allow for modifications.

We are both right, see?

Ok, ok you're both right....
now this means that I have to do the rear...

I'll take my chances and run with the short one up front..
The line is the same as the old line, go guess it's ok..
