Hawk Performance Brake pads

I tracked an EVO for about 10 years and went through just about every modification you could making the car more reliable and faster. I started out with carbotech xp10 front and xp8 in the rear. Those are great beginner pads with amazing initial bite and a lot of modulation but they will wear quick and they're expensive. Also, once you start compressing your brake zones you'll find they don't have quite the amount of bite needed.After carbotax I went through a bunch of different pads from ferrodo, to hawk to stop tech to pfc and probably a bunch more in between. Ultimately I settled on hawk DTC 60s front and rear.For my driving style the DTC 60 provided amazing initial bite and release without ever overheating, even on Hoosiers. They also lasted really long, almost as long as the pfc08 which is an endurance pad.

Pros: amazing bite, long lasting
Cons: expensive, wears quick

  • Braking:
  • Noise:
Rating 4.5

I aswell have an evo 9 with the same tires and similar weight. I run hawk dtc 70s in the front and dtc 60s in the rear. If you do not mind swapping pads before the events I love these pads. They will make a lot of noise driving around town tho. I get about 8 to 10 days out of a set of front pads and about 2 to 3 seasons out of a set of rears.

Pros: long lasting
Cons: noisy

Nokia Tires

I drive with WRGs on my Lancer. They're amazing, but don't expect ice grip that's comparable to a true winter tire.

Having said that, the great thing about WRGs is that they're \*absolutely amazing\* at preventing hydroplaning during the summer months.

Highly recommended.

Pros: amazing at preventing hydroplaning
Cons: less ice grip

Gates Timing belt kit

About 20k miles ago I replaced the timing belt on my 02 lancer with a gates timing belt kit. However, after a few thousand miles the belt started to make noise. Now it’s louder and annoying so I plan to put a new kit on but would rather not use gates again.

Cons: started making noise, louder and annoying
Vehicle: Mitsubishi Lancer
Mileage: 32187 km
