Good luck!!

I already have a set of R4Ses and new front rotors ready for a swap. I will wait for as long as I can with these and make a switch - most likely beginning of the next season since there is still lots of pad left on these! Rotors have much more wear than pads at this time.

I've seen a lot of mixed results on these - we'll see how they do with ti shims slathered in antiseize. going on new dba 5000's and 4000's

Another vote for ST43s here. I've been running the ST43 front/DS2500 rear combo on my car since 2012. I was considering running CLs in the future based on some experience driving a competitive STU car.

Luckily I already own ST43s and just need to bed them to the Girodiscs! I was just thinking there was probably a better, more auto-x friendly pad. I've had some release issues with the ST43s and melted all the dust boots in my front brakes with one track day and a few auto-x events on them. But now the Brembos are rebuilt so hopefully that does the trick. Thanks for the advice guys!

I'm not sure that would be a pad issues but more of a caliper or other issue.

Titanium shims help the dust boots last longer.

Oh man, I need some sort of hard quality plan for the evo cause even as a former military QAQC inspector and all around bad *** mechanic, my work has been shoddy at best lately.


Packwood Tour - Transfercase fill plug fall out on co-drivers last run sunday. Find wastegate line popped off at some point (no wonder shifting to third felt like hitting warp, BOOST SPIKE!)


After Packwood Pro - Find strut bolts loose from removing to get to T-case plug and just zipping them on lightly.


After Track day - Ends early cause terrible exhaust leak. Find one bolt missing and 3 of 4 remaining bolts 1/8-1/4 turn loose. Also forgot to re-connect front swaybar after measuring bump steer with new fix. Start digging around and find 1 hidden transmission bell housing bolt loose (one that goes from engine side to trans).


Time to re-check everything!

After 80+ autoX runs and a track day the redesigned beefy steering arms holds perfectly flat. 10 sets of uprights are being built right now. I will probably delay a second set until words of success come back from the first so get your dibs in now.

Did you see a shop named ludicrous speed built billet hubs for the evo? Apparently they made no geometry changes. Just lighter weight. Oh, and they want $2750 for them. I want to tell them they should've consulted Dallas before making bling pieces...
