well i got some fronts for cheap on here, and started looking around on ebay(always a bad idea for the wallet, lol) and i found some full sets for cheaper than i had ever seen them before.
so is it really worth it to do it all around, or will front suffice? i mean the front do the vast majority of the braking anyway, so would there really be any advantages to doing all four? thanks!

Definitely is worth while it improves pedal feel for braking. You don't get the ballooning feeling. Go for it, as far as ease its relatively simple just time consuming.
Engine build is still up for sale PM me for details.

Either replace all of the rubber brake hoses with the braided upgrades, or leave all of them as standard rubber hoses.
The steel braided covering, amongst other things, is to help minimize the hoses bulging under pressure (upwards of 1500psi) when you stomp your foot into the brake pedal. This is not something you should mix & match unless it's an emergency, side-of-the-road type temporary repair.
Just my $0.02
