Just get some Hawk HPS pads when you have to change your pads, many people that are coming to an evo already use some type of full syn motor oil so that's not really an issue. Get some high performance tires and sacrifice grip for longer use of tires. The Evo comes from the factory with so many high performance racing parts, it's not too hard to change things over to a high performance street car.

It used to be that if you wanted the service manual you could expect to pay North of a $100. Now it is available on ebay for $10 or less or free if you have a fast connection and can download it. So, there is no reason for any Evo owner not to have the service manual.
The service manual tells how to do all this stuff and I find it fun. You do have to be willing to learn how to work safely around a vehicle that can fall on and kill you. But, if you are willing to buy a good jack and strong car stands you are all set. Plus this equipment will last for the rest of your life and be used many times.
The job itself is an easy afternoon's work. Plus, you save money.
