I'm taking a guess here but i'd go for the 6, i bought the 4line kit and found out i needed 6 because i have rear discs.

Yeah, if you've got rear discs then it's a 6 line kit. :D

Nope...if you've got discs on the rear you've got flexi hoses running to the calipers, so 6 flexi hoses in total, there is no difference between the flexi brake pipes on an ABS car and a non ABS car.
