It's basically a bandaid. I plan on getting the SouthSidePerformance master cylinder this spring. You're still under warranty they should replace it for you.

It will make life a lot easier to have just 1 "type" of wheel vs 2 different sets of CCW's and the NT03's. I've already sold one set of the CCW's so the rest will likely go....
Are those wedsports supposed to fit better or without spacers?

Patrick, I can probably get you good deals on Hankooks if your ever in the market. I'll see what kinda price i can get those tires for.
Thanks Jeremy! After running both last year, I can say that I give the slight edge to the z214's over the R6's. Until I get good enough to "win" some Hoosiers, I'll likely stay with the z214's for this season.

The CCW's are 10" and fit the Evo well with front spacers no rubbing front or rear...the NT03's are 9.5's

A +18 offset "should" clear the suspension components with some room to spare but I will have to test the fit when they come in a couple weeks...

I was just trying to get the thread moving again because it was slow, but i see now that my post wasn't really needed.

The master cylinder is being covered under warranty, but knowing that I can break down at any point because of a cheap OEM master cylinder is not exactly cool.

I never sold the car or considered it before this, so you might have me confused with someone else on selling it.

It is pretty much stock. Stage 1 is installed now with fmic and cat-back, stage 3 on route from CA

i've had two awful dealings with gruppe-s over clutches that have left a very sour taste in my mouth in regards to them. hopefully things will go smooth with you.

i wouldn't say it was unneeded. for example, i now know that there are aftermarket master cylinder options. that's something i never even considered needing to replace, but now that you mention it i've seen several master/slave cylinders go on a few various cars over the years and it is never fun. especially if it happens while driving.

Why is all the stuff i want for the evo in the UK? There is some good stuff from ralliart that i'd love to have. Carbon fiber door panels, carbon fiber floor tubs, carbon fiber switch panels (already made, lol)

All that stuff would accent my carbon fiber lip nicely!

My mistake - I had you confused with Kiloalpha. I just saw you had an SC and he does as well.

Thanks mitsmaster. Wish you guys weren't so far away. I'm in south hills, and it's a pita to get a broken down car to you guys, then pick it back up. Especially when your loner fleet is out. I feel like I'm in high school again, bumming rides
