So i'm taking my Evo back to the shop tomorrow because my rotors are warped again.

What i'm looking for...

1. should I keep the stock calipers?
2. what kind of rotors and pads are you guys using and how much did you pay for them.
3. should I replace the brake lines too?

I really dont want to pay a ton for this but I definitely want better quality then what I have now.

Thanks in advance.

 

Little help guys... I know a bunch of you have had brake work done.

 

rotora rotors from vividracing.com 700 for all 4. do a search I posted pics. I am happy with the rotors. I am using carbotech bobcat pads daily and am o.k. with this set up. I will be getting the panther plus here next pay. will post results then. pm me if you want these results. I think I may be happier with a more aggressive pad.

cant beat 700 for 4 rotors. by rotora no less. good company. any other questions pm me. I will respond quicker.

 

With so many people having no problems with the stock brakes I'd just see if you could get new stock rotors under warranty. I know friends who use their brakes hard, with no problems at all...and with such a fine braking system, why mess with it?

I'd definately keep the stock calipers...I don't see any reason to need more than what the stock Brembos offer. I don't know your uses or capabilities though.

Replacing the brake lines would be a good idea I think, but again, not really necessary. Do it if you want to, most seem to like the improvement of SS lines.

If you do want to go with an aftermarket rotor, just get slotted Brembos in the stock size. Not that expensive really. That's the way I'll go if I continue to have no luck with my stock warped rotors (and replacements)...I feel your pain Good luck!

 

oh yeah. SS lines did firm up the pedal pressure. I noticed this more in the higher rpm range on the track.

 

Thanks for the help guys. I'll be calling the dealer and seeing what kind of crap I have to go through to possibly get them replaced first. We will see.

 

get the brembos cross slotted rotors and keep the stock calipers

 

my upgraded rotors look good, just havent got the pads and lines yet to install them. I'll write a review after i get to it. Im more in the hp battle but rather not have vibrating brakes.
