K sport is junk, same as Wilwoods. you get what you pay for. Alcons, Brembo or AP for me.
My pads came out at £350 for the set. [emoji33][emoji33]

My pads came out at £350 for the set. [emoji33][emoji33]
Yeah the car came with them, but I’m no stranger to Brembo judder from my old man’s Evo days.
He used to kill a set of discs every track day until he went AP front and rear.
I would steer clear of cheaper BBKs, AP/Alcon only tbh.
But, until I can afford BBK the girodisc seems a very good alternative. I’ve only got them on the front, the rears don’t get the same kind of abuse. I’ve got them paired with XP8 pads, which are dusty as but very good bite.

Yeah the brakes are a real weak point on these cars. Thinking two piece up front is the only way to go, even on a road car.
MTEC two piece are silly cheap at £350 but like Scott says you get what you pay for.

Bought a fully rebuilt and powdercoated set of original six pot brembos. So that will be new calipers all round, now.
I thought 4-9 Brembos were 4 pots up front?
Anyways, I went to Auto Torque's open morning this morning:

Ace pics, almost went to this actually. If I knew you'd be going I may have made the effort! Had other arrangements with thee Mrs
Yeah they're four pots, not six you're right. I spoke to Godspeed yesterday - he basically said flat out to me that he strongly believed 2 piece setups aren't worth it on a road car. Going to try a pagid combination and see how I get on.
A couple of triple figure stops and they’ll be juddering again if they’re plain discs imo.
Yeah my Evo didn’t make it to AT, went up in my brothers Integra as mine was having some exhaust work done...
I’ve gone for function over form!

Seen this on instagram, first time I’ve seen a removable “tip” for an exhaust. It’s a great idea!
Car looks amazing, any videos of the sound with the new system?
Nothing yet, on my instagram there’s a ‘before’ video from the pit lane of Donington. The system I had only had one silencer that had no packing left in it, no wonder I was having chats with noise Marshalls all the time!
The fabricator Turn12 looked at me funny when I said what I wanted [emoji23]

LOL, that's class

Godspeed discs are here. They look very good quality for the price, but use will tell the story!
Still waiting for the calipers. Addiction Motorsport called to say they didn't have the pistons for the front yet but should have them by Friday.

That's who supplied my Brembo high temp stickers.

Which one mate? Addiction or Godspeed?
Addiction mate.
Evo 5 RS
Ah, cool. Yeah he seems like a nice bloke. Seems like they mostly do bikes but appreciated the call to tell me they'd be a day or two later whilst they got the pistons.

Tempted. Difficult to know till they're on.

I’ve had silver, polarised, anodised, etc etc.
My next set is black, they get marked up as soon as you use them.

I just remembered I've got a minty set of originals i bought ages ago so just using them lol.

After sorting the brakes and fitting new calipers, (hopefully next week with service) I'm thinking of booking in at Auto Torque for underside inspection. Nothing really warrants concern but really thinking the money I'm putting in the car it's worth it long term.
What I may do, however, is get some good use out of it this Summer and set some money aside for it next year. Rather than jumping in.

The rear calipers I purchased from AA Core Supplies on Ebay have yet to be dispatched to me and they've added an APC tracking number that doesn't work. Messaged them yesterday but haven't responded, and also tried calling twice and left a voicemail. Doesn't bode very well, I did think they were quite cheap for recons.
Spoke to Addiction Motorsport and he's said he can do me a rear set for £490.

They'd given me the wrong tracking number, getting them today lol.

Really nice powder coating. Very happy with the fronts

Coating them with Britemax Quartz, baking

Just spotted this if anyone's interested.

Looks lovely, although the fact it's coated in black underseal will be off-putting to some potential buyers. Car has a solid history and I doubt it's hiding any big problems
Christ they had a daft ride height as standard, looks like it’s got shipping blocks still wedged in!
Evo 5 RS
Brakes all done!
Evo 5 RS
brakes bedding in nicely, starting to work 'proper' so hopefully will feel a lot more confident when pressing on.
Really happy with how the car is now from 12 months ago but still things I want to do.

I’d like more power, every one would.
But there is a limit to what you can use on the street.
I swear sometimes mine feels too much for the road. 600bhp and 1200-1300kg must be mental.

My uncle just bought the TME that was due through their auction.
Pictures looked appalling but it is mint. He owned one when they were new but has just bought one to store away (shame really)
Evo 5 RS
I've asked Bob if he could take me out in his 600bhp one next time I'm there. 1.8 bar, and more to come. Engine is good for 1khp
Yeah his is a weapon, I was a garage neighbour to him at Brands last year. He was doing 58s and I was dipping 56s l, with half the power. Because driving hero and all that s**t. [emoji23]
Evo 5 RS
Yeah not really the circuit for big power, either lol. He was there Monday. Bet that was interesting with the rain. Are you going Jap fest?

I’d rather stick forks in my eyes tbh.

Car looks good! Mine’s filthy, but almost no point cleaning it this side of a track day.
Evo 5 RS
Honestly, those are my thoughts too, not my scene. Would rather try and get to a few local meets lol
