Just noticed that on full lock while jacked up that my front brake hoses are nearly being stretched to the point of breaking!
Since i have 1800 front discs & callipers i am curious to know if the 1800 brake hoses are slightly longer to compensate for more outward travel of the larger diam discs?

There are different part numbers for NA6 and NA8/NB brake hoses, so I believe so.

You are correct,i'm looking at Mazda part numbers now.
06/89-08/92 are NA01's
08/94-08/95 are NA75's
never knew that myself,i,ve put the 1800 kit on my own car(brownie) keeping the original brake hoses,might have to chuck NB's ones on.

Might drop in to an Auto store & compare the lengths-just to be sure!
