So where is evidence of this top 5 TA finish?

Also calling people 'hoons' just goes to show you watch too much today tonight and have swallowed all the anti performance car bull****.

Well then you are either lucky or my friend doesn't know where to look. He could not find any parts to rebuild his calipers (he wanted to powder coat a different color).

I don't have a problem with ProjectMu. I think it looks cool. I have no idea if they perform better then the OEM brembo's or AP's or something similar that you can get here for a lot less and is track proven.

If its mostly for show then whats better doesn't matter since the OEM brembo's do just fine for most people who own Evo's performance wise........evidently that isn't the focus in the case.

I am going to apologize right here LOL. I wasn't trying to be rude. I just read it and it came off like a dick. I love the company but I didn't realize your in Canada. That might be your issue on getting product.
As for the factory Brembo I personally thing they perform Horribly which makes no sense cause its the same system on the early year STI's and they preform great!.

No worries. Yeah you seemed a bit pissed. Things always escalate on the internets. I try not to take a lot personally and diffuse when I can.

I just daily my car so the OEMs do the trick. I have been thinking about upgrading to the APs. Funny you should say the STi brakes are better. My wife's STi eats rotors up (warp) quicker then my Evo ever does and has more work to do (stopping 700+ hp as opposed to 315ish on her car.

I'm from Canada but I lived in Atlanta at the time when my friend had issues finding a vendor that could get a rebuild kit. Limited experience admittedly but besides him I know a few people using Endless that also had a similar problem. Find in a US vendor for rebuilds.
