If you want to try mine I can just send it to you.
Thanks for the offer. I may take you up on that for a couple weeks some day when I'm testing configurations. Sounds like it's not worth the effort though.
I always forget that official OBDII commands are significantly slower than Mitsubishi's MUT protocol.

curious - for those on oem brembos - how often are you having to do a rebuild due to whatever complication? i'm winding up rebuilding annually now, starts with the dust boot turning to crusty garbage which leads to various complications. this time, it's a stuck piston. annually for me is about 4-6 track days and a handful of autocrosses.

Annual dust boots on my ct9a calipers. I now have Ti shims, so we'll see how that goes.

i always use ti shims, hasn't mattered much.
when you say annual dust boots, you are just replacing the dust boots themselves? have you tried racing brakes high temp ones? i did once but a leaky piston disintegrated them.

haven't tried those because I was being a cheapskate on my last rebuild (swapping to X calipers after, anyway). Maybe next time.

re: the rebuild itself - what do you use to blow the pistons out in terms of an adapter for the brake fluid line? i really should get a compressor..
Vacuum line and the air-gun thingy on my air compressor. Getting the pistons out was the hardest part for me. Once one is out, there is no way to pressurize the others I don't remember how I got the rest out, actually. It's been a while.

how dangerous would it be to pop them out while on the car, removing the rotor & SLOWLY pressing on the brakes until nearly out with wood in between? then disconnect etc as normal. I guess that leaves the possibility of spraying brake fluid all over the place?

IIRC, they pop out with some force, once they clear the seals. I would NOT want to clean that mess up
While FAE is getting a heart transplant, wife spotted this last week . Tons if little issues, wasn't taken very good care of (to my standard). Had a e85 map and overall shady tune feels like, full Ti exhaust, ams widemouth and ams intake. Unknown coils atm. Stupid wide RPF's even for a X, with WORK alum lugs that have a 7 spline key I had to order. And 275 NT05's that are worse for wear, streached quite a bit. As usual no fender liners and no front undertray lol. Spent the whole weekend washing, claying, buffing and more buffing before I did a ceramic coat. Fae never gets these treatments lol. I also spotted a metric ton of grease an oil caked all around the area under the water pump. Not sure on that yet. Then 3rd grinds impossibly bad and the clutch is a bit worn. Lots of work to do haha.
First X. I assume in order to read the X tephra tunes you have to pay the 100 bucks to get the XML's?
I don't remember how I got the rest out, actually. It's been a while.
