This is more of a backroad setup, but I've done well over ten track days with this spec.

Oh ya and stock suspension/brake pads lmao.

Worked pretty damn well at willow springs horse thief mile.

 

I use the stock suspension on my 2003 Evo VIII. A proper 4-wheel alignment with careful camber, castor, and toe settings transformed the car from an understeery beast to a very well-balanced cornering machine. I'm looking into puttng on a slightly stiffer rear bar just to eliminate that very last whiff of understeer under power. But it hasn't been a priority.

As for brakes, the stock calipers are just fine. I've replaced the stock rotors with custom 2-piece floating rotors with directional vanes. And I swap out my street pads for real track pads, like Carbotech XP-9/10 or Performance Friction PF-97. I also use proper high-temp fluid, like Motul RBF 600. And I've thrown on Goodridge s.s. lines just for the hell of it (I noticed no difference between these and the stock rubber flex lines).

How are you adjusting caster Emre?

My setup:
SS lines
ATE Blue fluid
Ferodo 2500 (street)
Ferodo 3000 (front only - track)
Stock rotors
Muellerized JIC's
RS trunk bar
25mm rear sway bar
-2.5 front camber, -.8 rear camber, 0 toe front and rear

 

Oops! I was thinking of my dedicated track car. On my street Evo, I don't have adjustible castor. I only was able to adjust camber and toe. But it made a huge difference, especially at corner entry.

Brakes:
- Goodridge Lines
- ATE Super Blue or Motul RBF 600 depending on which bottles are in my garage at the time
- Ferodo DS 2500 pads, but I want some PFC 97's
- Removed dust covers from front rotors
- 2 inch diameter hose for brake ducting

Suspension:
- Hotchkis Springs
- 25 mm Progress rear bar set in the middle
- Tein front camber plates
- Lots of ureathane bushings I haven't had time to install
- I'll be running Ohlins coilovers once I can get ahold of some
- -2.9 front (maxed out) 1/16th toe out. -1.8 rear with no toe

 

Ahh, I thought you found a secret adjustment somewhere. These cars do benefit hugely from a proper setting up, that's for sure.

 

Performance friction 2 piece front rotors
PMU MAX900 front pads
PMU Titan Kai rear pads
Motul 600 fluid
RRE braided lines
Front dust shields off

Apexi coilovers
Whiteline rear sway
Rear arm bushings
-2.7 front camber
-1.3 rear camber
255/40/17 RA1s

The PMU MAX900 are the best pads I have used so far in the last 1.5yrs of tracking the evo. The best thing of all is that they are cheap.

Did great in 100F+ ambient heat at buttonwillow yesterday. No brake fade or brake feel change. Until my headgasket shut down the party. 230F water temps and 280F oil temps = all my warning lights on my greddy gauges coming on. Not fun luckily I caught it before I had to tow the car 280miles home.
