Brake kit upgrade or NOT
Concerned with the factory brakes on the car I upgraded to EBC greenstuff and SS lines when the old brakes kicked. Still running stock rotors, I cant tell if its just because the brake pedal feel in an EVO ruined it for me or if they really are crap. I dont have the money to go with somethign like the stoptech kit so I am wondering if the upgraded pads, lines and rotors would make the car stopp better/increase pedal feel making it FEEL safe in a car making between 280-300whp. Thanks Guys

Well actually, a good hydraulic fluid will make a difference. The problem however, lies within the master cylinder. Subaru did a really crappy job when designing the mount. You loose about the first 10% of braking power due to flex. I hear that someone some place builds a special mount that stiffens the cylinder and reduces the flex. Check it out.

Cusco makes a MC brace for ~$100.....and WELL worth it.....as are the SS lines and good fluid/pads.
