Wing and brake calipers

If you need help ask a guy that works for company.....If any of you guys need anythinsg contact me at the dealership not the guy that calls himself the manager......The rep is rather easy going on the issue with the brake calipers....Brembo ends up paying mitsu for the new calipers.....The wings are hard but he has still replaced alot of them even on second and third owner cars....

Mike,

What is mitus's stance on rust. My car is well taken care of, washed weekly, and rust is starting to appear on the lip of the rear wheel wells. Its not an issue now, but in a couple years will be.

You can according to a cursory google search. I have been told you can't and personally I wouldn't.

My stock rotors were resurfaced and didn't last but 2,000 more mile.

Probably cheaper just to get new ones.

Seems the best way to get evo brakes to last is beat the **** out of them. Strange but true.

rust

rust is full warranty as long as rusting from the inside out....If the paint is worn off down to bare metal there is no waranty.....


slotted rotors you can cut a few thousands off ...

Dave, that is unless you want to buy good rotors. How about $1400 for a set of two piece. . Dam, this making a fast car really gets expensive.

Hey mitsumike, How about the rust from them not putting on a dam protective film around the rear fender near the doors. LOL. Not that i really care but, its rather pathetic that they get so bad. Plus they did start putting it on the cars after 03 so. Oh and can i get new calipers? Mine are peeling alittle. . Sure they are brown and very well used. But, my bling is not quite the same without a nice paintjob. Just joking, well you could sell me the old ones that people don't want so i could have some spares. I will be calling you here soon for alittle work.

SJ,

Welcome to the PGH area. I am actually living in the township next to yours. So if you ever want to meet up we can do so. I am sure we can get some of these other local yocals to do so as well. Just don't expect a CLEAN car

The large EVO meet in the spring tends to be about 20 cars.

Other then that 10-12 cars is the norm.
