Can I get some break pad recommendations from you seasoned gentlemen?
The Evo doesn't get driven a lot, it will see more street driving than drag, but it WILL see some 1320 time so I want something that will perform.
I'm thinking ebc red stuff, but I'd like recommendations first.
The car is high horsepower, I don't want a lot of dust, and I can't stand a lot of squeaking. Hope that narrows it down.
Thanks in advance guys

EvoDan has some race spec pads he is selling (nearly new), i'm not sure about the dust but he did mention the squeaking was a bit much for him on the street so they might not be what you're looking for either.
i have a habit of picking up used stock brake parts (pads and rotors) and that has done pretty well for me so far.

I like ebc pads, I use them on the del sol garrett, and even though I only ran low boost at prp, the car trapped 133, and they have a very short shutdown area, and they worked quite well. You'll probably be around the same trap speed I think anywhere from 130-140mph. Especially if you buy the s366 and we re tune it :-)

Thanks guys.
Mondo, I honestly wouldn't be opposed to oem pads if they were much cheaper. I could make due, however even a set of 4 oem pads is close to the cost of a good aftermarket set. I plan on trap speeds around 130 or so like Jason reports. While most drag strips have a nice long shut down, prp has like a 20 stretch of shut down and then you're driving through the woods (only slight exaggeration).
Saber,
if u figure it out let me know
jay,
which ebc pads u using on the delly?
if I go with a new turd-bo around tax time it will probably be 6262. But u know ull be helping me tune the box. 700 or bust

we drained my tranny fluid the other day,pulled the tranny out and it looked like a bottle of glitter, the whole pan was metal shavings, havent actually torn the transmission apart yet. going to a 5speed swap, gonna tune out the stock turbo to its limit. Then i'll upgrade, either to a htafpgreen like you have, a fpblack, or just throw a 35r at it, and see how far I can really push it

hey guys my evo 8 just started idling weird...when i start it cold it keeps wanting to stall till it warms up completely and doesnt stall but rpms r at like 600? i read something about a iac<<?? on the trottle body that if it goes bad will make this problem or im thinkin just from the cold. i have 90000 on that part but the engine was built 15000 ago? any suggestions? car runs like a ramped ape tho when im driving it? i reset the computer and it fixed it for like 200 miles then it started again.

If that doesnt help, take a small flat screw driver and turn it up a little.

it could just be something with the tune, just needing a slight adjustment in these cold as ***** temperatures. talk to nate hes a good guy he'll offer a suggestion.
