Evo's in the shop...
 
* Front Calipers being replaced under warranty (peeling)
* Rear wing being replaced under warranty (fading)
* Resurfacing rotors - for the 3rd time (vibration upon braking)
* Installing my new Ferodo DS2500 pads

They checked my transmission because I was getting a slight grind into 5th above 3k RPM. Said it was fine. I'm sure it will just get worse. :D

I'm excited to have brakes that won't transfer in the wet!

Chin Up. Yea My Brakes Do The Same....sucks. I Went With The Hawk Pads And Doin The Brembo Rotor Upgrades.

Brand new front calipers look great except for my filthy rims. :lol:

New wing looks like - well a new wing.

Ferodo pads need to be bedded in - will do that tonight when the streets around my house are more deserted. :D

They said they couldn't recreate the 5th gear grind. I told the dude he didn't go fast enough. :)

nice to hear a dealer honoring a warranty

I've never even had to convince City Mistu here in Jax - just told em about stuff and they fixed it. :)

same here and the service guy knows me on a first name basis but he talked to me and said that mitsu is not claiming that under warranty although they know its a common issue.....time for me to start doing some arguing....my calipers look like total crap!!

BTW - here's an excellent site on brakes that I used for my bedding procedure on the Ferodos: http://www.raceshopper.com/tech.shtml

And the number to City Mitsu is 904-565-2489. It's on Atlantic Blvd near 9A. They have a few really good techs there - the guy that did the work knew a lot about the Ferodos and bedding, etc.
