Newbie Question about Brakes

I have an 06 R53. I went to an R56 front brake kit a few months ago. My rear brakes are regular R53. Now my rears brakes need to be replaced so I figure why not upgrade to SS lines all the way around. I ordered the WMW SS R53 kit in a set of 4. I totally forgot that I have the R56 brakes upfront now! Will the WMW R53 SS lines still work up front because its an R53 chassis or is it determined on the actual brake kit? So do I need to order R56 SS lines as well?

Thanks!

You will have to have the R56 front lines. Call WMW and tell him what happened and that you are a newbie. He might be able to help you out. I just did the swap on my R53.
