Yes you can use a banjo fitting but I used normal 2wd hoses on mine and they worked fine.

The length of the hose when I compared it to a new 2wd one I bought was the same length although it will depend on the exact mounting location

I just compared the hose that came with the brembo's to a goodridge braided hose i had on the white 3dr. Pics below...
The hose with the yellow tag is from the 3dr and is actually a few mm shorter

you need to put a standard 4 pot next to it as it may fit in a a different position

which is why people are telling me to use 4 x 4 ones as they are longer. Does that sound right

the 4x4 ones would seem to be longer as the fit into the normal position of the caliper as opposed to the 4 pot which just screws into the side, i'd reckon on it being as much as 2 inches longer, but you don't want to be fitting pipes that are TOO long as that causes more issues
