After reading the recent thread about the stainless steel brake lines,
I felt compelled to check the condition of the lines that were
installed on my S6 about five years ago. I was surprised to learn
that the right rear line was badly frayed near the coupling to the
hard brake line (see attached pictures). These lines came from
Paragon Performance. The other three lines looked fine with the
exception of rusty couplings. I'm not sure what caused the RR line to
fray but the exposed SS threads are extremely sharp and would have no
problem cutting through the brake hose underneath. Check your SS brake
lines periodically!
