Default Need advice with my rear brake lines

I have a 00 Camaro Z28 with TCS and ABS, and need to replace my two rear brake lines because of rust.

I want to replace the whole line (From ABS module, to the rear of the car)

I understand that I cannot buy a whole line set from the dealer. Can I just run new hardline from the ABS Module all the way to the rear of the car.

Basically, Is the braided section at the ABS module crucial or can I just run straight steel/copper line from the autoparts store?

Thanks

Braided lines are usually used for the need for flexing, as opposed to hard lines, so you should use the same.

For the rear hard lines:

i redid my rear brakelines last summer and just ordered 25' of stainless line and bent it up myself (had a small tube bender at home) and then brought it to a shop to get flared. worked like a charm and i used the stock lines to use as a template to get the bends right. 25' did from the abs module to the axle and from the T on the axle out to where the flex lines went to the caliper. also replaced the rubber factory lines with russel stainless braided pieces
