faulty install right?
I installed them, so how dare you!

It just slipped though the holder, little by little until it rubbed.

I wouldn't say faulty install, just freak occurrence, I doubt anyone will have this problem again.

I do however recommend you watch your aftermarket brake lines. Make sure they are not rubbing on anything. Part A doesn't mean it will work with part B. Two different companies, etc.

I'm checking my lines before the track event on Saturday.

Last thing I want is to lose my brakes behind another car after the main straight!

They're the willwood brake lines, but like I said, I think it was just a freak occurrence. The willwood brakes I still recommend.

Down shifting, no stopping and E-Brake.
Glad you turned out okay but that was stupid, should've called a tow truck.

tow truck would take too long. Lets be realistic, how many people really brake in the canyons. I can tell you Rise never uses brakes until we come to a stop.

I used the e brake once, that was when we pulled into the parking lot.
