Yes. It's not stock. 
=======================
I should know better than this, but.........Neither are different front sway
bars, or bushings, shocks, or DOT race tires, or aftermarket wheels, or
aftermarket brake pads, or.......  What's your point?


This change occurred during the same rules
revision in which engine balancing, .040" overbores, and port
matching were disallowed in Stock. Earlier cars were
grandfathered in for a few years, then the mods became illegal on
any car. With the exception of the braided brake hoses.
========================
Then why not get rid of the allowance altogether, if, as you say they're not
a safety improvement?  Gee, the brake lines are the easiest mod (of the ones
you listed) to undo, so why keep it at all and in particular?

Kinda like the alternate steering wheel "but not if you've got an airbag"
rule.  Dumb and once again very inconsistant.
