these didnt seem to fade as bad, less brake dust than stock from what i could tell. but i dunno if my pads were oem before

yea i did auto x with them also

 

That is a good deal, until I saw what shipping would be

Damn it, can't make up my mind.

 

I just read the the pads included in the bailout deal aren't the magic pads, they're the "bailout pads" its +$100 to upgrade to the magic pads.

 

yea thats what i said above, im running bailout rotors with magic pads

i think when i bought it cost me a total of 300 for all 4 corners. PM martin on here he gives a deal to evom people i think

user is martin@girodisc i think

 

That sucks about your tire and that Evo sounds like Tommy's

Was this the Car?

 

Oh alright, I gotcha. I'll send him a pm.

Thanks for the info, really helped.

 

Ordered the magic pads. Can't afford to bundle them with the rotors.

I always win that's the problem lol, its not fun any more

 

you going to have your rotors turned?

 

No, I'm just going to scuff them.

 

if you want the brakes to last and make a good seat i would have them turned

 

Which aspect of the brakes won't last? The pads or rotors?

 

Don't waste turning your rotors, rotors are far more expensive to replace than pads and every time you turn them it takes a good chunk off of their life. I never ever turned my rotors on the Evo and never had a single problem in the 3 years I tracked it, changed pads from street to track and back, never a single problem, no cracking, no chipping, no warping, nothing.

 

I've never turned or replaced rotors either. But I've never a car longer than a year except for my evo. So I wouldn't know what the long term effects were.

 

Like I said, I had mine for 3 years and kicked the **** out of it, including using track-only pads which got the rotors over 750* (using a pyrometer). And by the time they needed replacing (when I sold the car) they still had a fairly good bit of life on them, but they were pretty blue... So we replaced them to sell the car easier. Never warped, never turned, never had a crack or anything. The Evo/STi rotors are pretty godly for regular applications, matter of fact, some of the guys I talked to back in the day that had race built Evos for the track said it was nearly impossible to warp the rotors and most of the time people think they are warped it is really just pad transfer.
