Old brakes

New Brakes

Pretty easy job... all just bolts on stuff. I had a few issue with clearance of the outer pad carriage, but nothing a little filing couldn't fix

225 semi slicks on the front are the way to go for launching fwd

And braking for that matter! wow those brakes should pull up hard- look awesome too!

They stop hard alright

However Im not happy with the pedal pressure required to do it, so my little GR master cylinder is getting the heave ho this weekend & a GPX one is going in. Also have the valving 'modified' on the GPX one to bring the pressure up higher again.

And if no-one buys my GPX set that was on it, they are going on the back... in car bias adjustment will be on the cards then

Yeah they do look awesome!
Nice work for sure!

Droidy, how do you fit 225 on a lancer at the front??
Tell me and I'll do it (if it's not too costly)

What do you mean spetz, gaurd clearance? Well you could roll and pump the gaurds..... or use the cf wide gaurds from ralliart colt (tuf mirage). I've seen 225's on the front of ek civics, on 15" vti-r rims. 225's would fit your rims- they'd look oversize but that looks cool anyway.
I'm definitely getting 225s. They woopass!

some alternatives to UAS's 330mm rotors here: http://www.justjap.com/parts_nbraking.htm. 8 pot.. comes with the same stuff as the UAS rotors, pads, braided lines, for $2299.. pretty sure its in $AUD. (And that EVO4 rotors will fit).

Wow... thats a pretty hardcore arrangement.

I put in the GPX master cylinder yesterday & the difference is unfreaking believable. Going from a 7/8 diametre plunger to 15/16 makes all the difference.
