All four are the same length, but you might as well get them from MK, dont think youll save much on thier prices.

SB,

I used landy discovery hoses on the front. Looks OK, but haven't driven the car yet. They are the same length as the MK (braided) hoses, but much cheaper. On the rear, i'm trying to re-use the original front flexies, since they were as new. I made a bracket on the rear bulkhead just in front of the upright, and as far as i can now see, there's more than enough length to allow for bump and rebound travel of the suspension.

The model Disco to ask for is the 3.5i V8, but make sure you check the connections (M10*1, if you're using standard ford brakes). A lot cheaper than the braided hoses and just as good in my opinion (I never minded some pedal travel)

IIRC our's were 14" on the rear. We had Front's shortened to 12".

Depends where you take them from really... our rear fitment is not normal as you can see from the HELLFIRE website picture!
