Exclamation Yet another brake question

Hey guys i just have a couple last questions on this cause im collecting all my parts and i want to do it right the first time.

ECS has the exact fit brake line set, but they are backordered and im not waiting.

I found these neuspeed ones at the same price which im planning on getting,

Neuspeed Stainless Steel Brake Lines Audi A4 B5.5 00-01 - 86.02.17

One thing im a little lost on, is theres 2 for the front, 2 for the rear, what are the ones in the middle for...? I tried researching but i didnt find anything.

Also what brake bleeder kit would anyone recommend?

And fluid type also, i was planning on running the dot4 blue ate, but ive read it could cause problems, does anyone else have a fluid they recommend for the cheaper price range this is in?

Lastly, is there any DIY write up for installing one of these kits on our cars? I havent found one.

Thanks!

2 in the rear per side.
MC--short line -- hard line -- long line -- caliper.
horrbly stupid design
all my lines were seized use a heat and cool method to crack them
make sure you have an 11mm flare wrench handy.
i just did all my ss lines and what not. spray them with pb while you wait.
