Upgrading the brake pads to EBC Yellowstuff and the fluid to Motol RBF 600 this weekend. Stopping power FTW 

[tatsujo]

The things you do for the car. Man, good stuff.

[pogiboiuno]

are you planning on changing the brake discs? or would that stuff drastically improve the brakes already??

Slotted rotors will come later on, but pads are a quick way to gain a lot of braking power. The fluid upgrade is because Ill be racing on the track, so a stock fluid would boil up and I could have major brake issues.

When I did the brake upgrade on my old GTS I used Porterfield pads and they were awesome. Problem is they are extremely expensive. I've heard some good things about the EBC pads so I figured I would give them a try seeing as they are half the price of Porterfields!

If the EBC suck then Ill switch back

As for the EBC, I bought them through amazon. Just search automotive there for EBC pads and the part number. They were ~$96

Brake work is partially done...turns out the pads were the wrong type. First time EvoM info has turned into a failure. Oh well, I am moving forward to get some new pads. 

Today the brake fluid was added, and I also was speaking with the shop and we will be fitting Evo 8 brake ducts to my car next Saturday along with fitting pads that actually fit 

[bras_33]

That sounds very interesting...hope all works out well. I remember doing those with your old GTS.

[darkmana153]

were you able to get a/m pads for the RA ?? 

i know im gonna want to get better ones when i need to, just wondering if there are some out there already.

After this past weekend at the track with WORKs and hearing what they have planned I will be waiting for their brake upgrades.

There was also another RA there with Robispec, testing out their new brake kit. Tried to talk with the guy but he wasnt very talkative

yea but arent those complete brake assemblies (like calipers and brake lines) i was just looking for aftermarket pads to replace the old ones. I did that on the old lancer and they worked wonders. so i wanted to do the same with the RA, dont really got the money to fork over to replace the entire system.
