Brakes stopped working... AGAIN!

Good thing this wasn't a big issue but this is the second time in the last year that I've stepped on the brakes hard, heard a pop, and only the rears barely worked. Last time, both lines had been rubbing on the axle from being lowered on coils and not being mounted properly. This should be the case this time (wont know until tomorrow) but is this common? I would assume not, is there anything I should check or replace anyway cause this cannot happen again. Thanks guys.

Just as an update, the shop called me today. They said the stainless steel line is blown and that it ate through the axle boot (I JUST had the axle replaced at Nissan, so this is probably their fault...) and I need a new axle and brake line. I need to just get the car done so he is going to put in a rubber one and I will get an SS one later.

I needed to do the fuel filter, fix an exhaust rattle, and get the oil changed so they're just gonna do all that too. I just hope I never have a brake line fail again. This could have been a major problem
