your shipping with ups and these guys are in canada? I ran a search on the net for review on the KVR brakes and everyone was pleased with them.

Keep us updated on pricing and info...I really need to replace my front rotors and pads soon cayse they're shot. They're starting to cause vibration when braking at high speeds and it just isn't braking that well for my liking.


Another thing I've noticed on some website, is that lancer GTS and Caliber rotors share the same part number. I know the lancer and caliber share the same platform, alos the GTS share the Outlander brakes, but is possible that rotors made for the caliber will fit the GTS'?


keep us updated on those rotors...

Just wondering why you wouldn't go back to the dealership and have them check/replace your rotors? isn't it warrantied?

Asking cause i almost slammed straight into this van the other day because his tail lights weren't working. 65km/h to a dead stop.

If my breaks weren't up to par, i'd bring it to my dealership.


After that experience good brakes are a must.

Yea, keep us posted on this Soul

brakes are usually a wear and tear item so they are covered under warranty but not for the full bumper to bumper coverage we have.

As for my brakes I do alot of driving with my car each day and Im sitting at 90000km with my GTS, so they had a good run and now I need to replace the fronts...backs are still pretty good.

As far as I know, warranty covers the rotors, but not the brake pads, coz they put a note on the sheet that they print when I went for my service that I need to replace all 4 pads and the car only had 25590 km that time.

Should I wait til it hits 50k or something or do I follow what they say?!? I kinda trust Scarb Mitsu's service and I kinda feel they won't trick me or anything like that. It's just the topic of rotors and brake was brought up so I might as well ask.

I am going to talk to Absolute and Rubberducky, if one of them pick this portfolio up they will be the person of contact and organizing for a group buy.

That said, I have recently gotten word that its been worked out to even allow home delivery via UPS. still trying to find out if they will be shipped straight from manufacturer or be forwarded north of the boarder and distributed this way. Kinda like how XenonDepot operates, they ship their HIDs using UPS but they are shipped from up here in Canada so no duties

I will try to finalize things shortly. They are currently sourcing our Lancer (old) + new and EVO X brake sizes to ensure the pricing is 100% accurate. When I get those, we will post it up

Are brake pads included with this GB? Im looking into a set of Hawks or the Green ones. What something that produces less brake dust.

In terms of pads, they have access to a ride range of pads, but the one that our sponsor sells the most are carbon Kevlar mix.

Currently he is putting together full price list for EVO X, EVO 8/9, RalliArt 09, and Lancer new and old.

we have a great discount too. more details to come
