Something wrong with my brakes. HELP!!!
I would say yes. Remember the braking system is a hydraulic line that needs to be closed to work properly. I hole anywhere would allow any pressure that is created by applying the brake pedal to escape. Might as well get some stainless lines.
I got some pictures. But this is not my car, Its that guy that helps out about the bleeding but i just took his pictures and post it here so you guys could see which line i was talking about that ripped up alittle.

Don't drive it around like that, you will lose all braking ability all together and you don't want to be out on the road with a situation like that. That is your problem for sure, or at least one of them if you see fluid coming out of the line. Best bet is to find a local evo shop that has some parts around, or go online and have them expedite shipped. I just did cheapo goodridge SS lines from tirerack online when I did a rotor and pad swap last year, work great and they stiffen the pedal feel up much more. I would still check that rod though to see if its bent, if you pushed down hard enough to pop a line, hopefully it was already on the way out, or you could have bent/damaged something else too before the line gave way... my .02
Here are some pictures of how it looks like:

Hhahah instead of stepping on the clutch to start the car up i stepped on the brakes. lol!!! I dont know how it happened either. So i guess its cause i pushed the pedal to hard forcing it to blast open. lol.
i have a hard time believing you just stepping on the pedal did that. hoses are pretty strong! i would check to see if it is rubbing on something when you turn the tires. im not saying it didnt happen that way but i just dont see it happening
By the sound of your posts you had to much pressure in your lines and blew a line. A leaky break line is never safe considering everytime you touch the pedal more fluid will come out, replace it wit ss lines they go for about 100 and bleed your whole system.
Yeah me to. Its weird isnt it? I dont know if it is cause i zip tied it alittle cause when i did my coilovers i had to zip tie it to the side cause there was no where to put it on the aftermarket one.
