I have been a good trooper and did a bunch of searches and I have not found the answer to my questions. The thing I want to know is the part number or name of the OEM pads on the 2003 Evo VIII. I assume they are from Brembo, but their web site has no info. My rears are worn and need to be replaced. I’ve read a lot of the threads where folks are talking about what aftermarket pads they are installing so I don’t need any help with that. My primary question is about the OEM pads.

Secondary question, one for the big thinkers, would putting mismatched pads front to rear, say OEM Brembos on the front (mine still have lots of life) and aftermarket pads (Project Mu, Ferodo, Stoptech, whatever) on the rear with different coefficients of friction mess with the car’s electronic brake distribution system? It seems that people have done it, but has anyone thought about the consequences?

Best wishes,
