Default Superformance Alert!

I was just under my car (#2932) and while greasing the ball joints, noticed that the brake line that goes to the caliper (on both front wheels) appeared frayed. I turned the wheel in and out and discovered that on my car both front wheels rub the brake line when turned hard to the outside. I have 12,000 miles on the car and both front brake lines have rubbed through the outside stainless layer. I zip tied them to the upper wishbone and that seemed to get them out of the way of the wheel. Hopefully it's just my car, but I thought I should get the word out just in case someone else is rubbing too.
Wouldn't be fun to lose brake pressure during a spirited mountain drive.
