I wish I could DD my Evo but where I work is too dusty in the summer. Its parked in the winter, so the beater car has to take over.

Holy crap I just priced out front & rear brembro pads.
Almost $900 for brake pads, wtf that's like 2 car payments.
Am so lucky I have a Nissan juke as a dd.
it's like a castrated version of the evo, but hey it's got a turbo. So I have officially become a boost addict.

Why in the world would you buy new Brembo pads when there are better, cheaper replacements out there.

agreed, this sounds insane enough for you to atleast want to check for alternatives on this forum. That's 900bucks that could've been spent on another mod

I DD'd both my 03 Evos during the time I owned them. Every day, any conditions.

Yep. I paid ~$450 shipped for new pads and rotors all around.
