Will brake dust melt or eat stock rubber brake line?
I wonder after a few lap of high speed full braking. Will the brake dust from HAWK BLUE OR R4
melt or eat into the stock rubber brake line due to high temperature?

I've never seen a rubber line melt. If anybody has firsthand, please speak up.
I have seen them fail at the swag/crimp, but that was a manufacturing defect that Ford should have recalled, didn't, and cost a life.

That was a ABS line, it just housed the wires to the ABS... It wasn't the actual brake line, I have steel braided ones...
I highly doubt the the brake dust will eat at the rubber lines..

Brake dust will not corrode/eat rubber. You can zip tie silicone hosing around the rubber lines to protect them from road debris (i.e. sharp flying objects), and this will also shield them from the heat a bit more, but in either case, the brake dust itself will not eat away at the rubber hose.
