This has been fixed...No pics because I did not have my camera.
I have SS lines up front now and it replaces the rubber line and the hard line. So basically goes from the fender wall hard line to the caliper...
The stopping power has increased substantially. No soft pedal feel. From now on the first upgrade I am making to any car I get are SS brake lines.

this is not true. well not entirely
we have covered several evo's with suspension work. and wheels.
we have also installed some wheels and suspension parts.
the deal is. most people put tension on the hard line when installing the suspension which leads to premature failure.
they don't notice it but it happens.
i would suggest taking it to the dealer. or if you are afraid about the coils. throw the stockers on and take it in. but when you put the coils back on, just be careful.
or order braided lines. the design on the x is kinda flawed anyways and is prone to cracking.
you could always make a day out of it. grab the new line and install it, bleed the brakes with a friend. save yourself most of that money you spent the first time.
edit: just read and saw it was resolved.

You can either use the universal brake tab kit or use zip ties.
