aftermarket brake pads for the brembos?

Well i need new brake pads, I found out they cost about 650$ for the pads alone, Now i'm wondering if there are equally as good or better aftermarket brake pads for alot cheaper then mitsu's pad price. Thx in advance

Dude, get the Hawk ones They are alot cheaper and brake as good as the stock ones. They are a bit noisy though. Besides that i like them alot.

I've been using the Hawks too. I bought them originally because they're cheap, but they're really good IN fact I bought an extra set that are in my trunk waiting since they were so cheap.

I had the project Mu's this past run around. They worked great. Not too noisy. My evo is actually in the garage cause I've worn them down... Just ordered a pair of hawks (which will be here today) and will be installing those. I'll letcha know on the difference.

Are you serious? Where are you getting them from? What are they made out of carbon?

We offer a bunch of pads for the EVO. Check out our website

http://www.rallysportdirect.com/shop...230d415cdd4f31

I presonally like the Ferodo DS2500 they are a very nice everyday pad but can still take a beating on the track. Also if you are going to track your car at all pick up a bottle of Motul RBF600 you will not imagine what it will do to your braking.
