Brake lines rubbing?
I upgraded my R53 front brakes to the R56S calipers and rotors. Took the front right wheel off this weekend and noticed a pretty significant little wear mark on the stainless steel lines I got in the WMW upgrade kit.
Do I just need to pull less slack out of the wheel side of the brake line grommet? Are my lines too long? This seems like it could be potentially disastrous because I only put a couple hundred miles on the new lines.

I pulled the brake line way back to take up the slack on the tire side. Just seems like the line is a bit long.
Wondering if R53 / R56 lines are different lengths?
