This weekend I'm going to be changing my rotors, pads, calipers and front flex lines. This would also be a good time to flush out the old brake fluid in the rear lines. My question is should I wait until I replace the front lines and calipers before I start bleeding the rears or should I bleed the rear lines first before I open up the front lines and calipers? This is my first time bleeding a brake system so any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

It dosn't matter. Do it all at once. Then bleed in this order:

RR LR RF LF from farthest away from the master cylinder to nearest.

I have always bought two quarts to do this.

The front and rear are two completely separate systems which is why it does not matter.

I'd swap the parts and then bleed the system all at once. But that is just me. As mentioned in the two posts above mine, start in the rear and work your way around the car when you bleed.
