Brake Hose Length?

I tried to order new hoses all the way around for the IROC and I was asked how long my front hoses were. 12" or 19", I'm sure one is for 1LE package. I do not have 1LE front brakes and I cant jack the front end up at the moment.
Can anyone tell me why there are different lengths and which ones I need?
Thanks.

Sorry I can't be of help with the length, but I'd think you could order what you want from any parts store. When purchasing, the usual difference is the non-performance package (standard brakes) vs the performance package (1LE). And, of course, the number of lines required differ according to the brake system.

My bad, the choices were 19" or 21 1/4". I borrowed some jack stands and Found mine to be 19". I do not have 1LE brks in front. Hope this helps if anyone else runs into this.
