What are your thoughts of SS brake lines for a daily-driver/autocross Evo? I've read everything ranging from "OMG these helped so much!" (which I chalk up to the fact they now have new fluid) to "they don't do much, especially for a street car" to "they'll potentially cause more problems than they're worth." The last one is particularly intriguing to me since a local Evo guy did have one of his SS lines crack after only a year or so of use. The company sent a replacement free of charge, but still quite a hassle.

I have seen a bunch install a BDCK on their IX's
Where the IX has the IC holes in the bump. Many are using that area to up the ducting - pretty much how I had mine.

Mine right now are behind the lip. I will remount them this spring.

I remember reading that a while back. Unfortunately, my holes are blocked by my IC. ... and i dont want it to look dodo. ...but if it works I suppose track day installs could be considered. Do you think thats enough air through those smallish hoses for road racing, as opposed to parking lot warrior?

Take it for what it's worth on the ST43 temperature ratings!

- Porterfield R4S Pads are a great choice for spirited driving, autocross use, and light track use. They are a low noise and low dust perfromance pad with excellent wear characteristics.
- Raybestos ST43 Pads are a great track pad with extremely high temperature ratings (1400 degrees F), high friction coefficient, and excellent wear. These pads can be used on the street, but will make more noise and more dust then the R4S pads.

Awesome post!! I'm kinda obsessed with brakes.
Would probably help to include the different ways of bleeding the brakes.
I personally use/love the Motive power bleeder
