I've got apracing callipers and brakes on my Evo 8 mr the problem is I dnt know what to do? I dnt know how much the discs and pads are but I know there expensive. Now cause I'm moding the car got a cam belt service lash adjusters might do them with the cam belt cause it's cheaper, and road tax end of the month it's all getting a bit much. So I was wondering anyone knows where to get the discs and pads cheaper or if I can use a different brand? Just as good performance wise long lasting and good for 400bhp as that's the power I'm looking for??
I've been lucky so far as it only cost me service MOT and insurance but this year alot more. Now I know why they high maintenance cause everything costs a bomb but then the buzz you get from driving the car makes up for it. Still a bit much this year so if you can help???

Jonny if your having the Mitsi alcons fitted then you won't be able to revert back to brembos cos the alcons are mounted using thicker bolts which is fine just means the holes will then be to big for the brembos. Yes they will still bolt up but you'll never stop the calipers from moving.

So yes, for sale 1 set of Evo IX calipers discs and pads :)
