From: somewhere testing various tires, brakes, and suspensions.
May I ask why?

99.9% of people do not need one. 0.05% have it for shows and the other 0.05% are hardcore, serious, professional race drivers.

Agreed...but, to satisfy your curiosity I would say Brembo and Alcon have the best and are insanely expensive especially the Brembos.

Stasis makes a ALCON kit specific for the EVO with the correct piston sizes, etc. This is what we carry.

Same caliper if i recall used on Speed World Challenge cars, tons of touring cars, rally cars, etc.

Alcon, AP Racing, Brembo, and Stoptech. You cant go wrong with something from this list as long as it's built specifically for your car.

Stoptech I would say is the best "value." Their kits are race proven and not too expensive and pads are easily available.

My favorite part about are brakes it that this car still runs them on it



they just upgraded the pads and Rotors and they are good to go



So that proves that you really don't need to upgrade to big brakes on your car just get better pads and rotors man

^ True....you can go really far with the stock brakes and they still hold up fine with good pads + rotors + ducts.

But that's a time attack car....it only does a few laps at a time.
