If it's a standard braking system VR4 fronts = EVO 4 fronts.

Ferodo DS2500 pads are "FCP765H" :)

cheers wirdy, thats what I was after, the discs i had sussed it was the pads were causing the confusion are they the same as evo iv too?

[wirdy]

Before I got mine I checked my pad dimensions just to make sure and they're the same as EVO 4.

A drawing of the pads are on the performancebrakes.co.uk site. Just type in EVO 4 into their search facility. Then click on 'check dimensions' for any of their EBC pads for the EVO 4.

I've included the link HERE (http://www.performancebrakes.co.uk/cgi-bin/sh000001.pl?ACTINIC_REFERRER=http%3a%2f%2fwww%2epe rformancebrakes%2eco%2euk%2fhtdocs%2facatalog%2fse arch%2ehtml&REFPAGE=http%3a%2f%2fwww%2eperformancebrakes%2eco% 2euk%2fhtdocs%2facatalog%2fsearch%2ehtml&WD=4%20evo&PREVQUERY=RANDOM%3dNETQUOTEVAR%253ARANDOM%26PAGE%3 dSEARCH%26SS%3devo%2b4%26TB%3dA%26GB%3dA&PN=On_line_Catalogue_2_OO_2181%2ehtml%23aPB5960#aP B5960) but it's the longest link I've ever seen so it may not work?!

Do a search on Galant VR4 and the same pads come up.
They didn't have them listed for our cars when I last looked at the site, guess we're becoming mainstream now!

Don't forget we have a good deal arranged with Woodford Garage Motorsport for National Racing Discs and Ferodo DS2500 pads - around £230 all in delivered to your door ;)

[wirdy]

I'll second Pete's advice there. ;)

Just ask how many members had NO brake fade around Castle Combe - then ask them if they had the above set up..........

I can't recommend the National / Ferodo combination highly enough. A bit more brake dust than EBC's (if that really bothers you) but braking wise they're superb.

[Spirit]

Must admit I now have a bit of judder under heavy braking but I have had the set up on there over a year now and she has been on two track days etc - and for £230 a throw I ain't complaining ;) The pads were checked tonight and they are still around 50% wear after all the above too :D

[strangebat]

a local supplier today came up with black diamond drilled discs and predator pads for 180 quid, any opinions welcome

Pete

Do woodford provide the rear brake parts? so we can have national groove alround?

[Spirit]

No mate, think you may have to stick with standard rear discs if required. Not sure if anyone does the rear discs for them ?

[enigma]

Rotordisc do them!!! ;)

Black Diamond do them as well......only £471+vat and 6 weeks lead time! :rolleyes5

I have Predator pads & drilled grooved discs by BD on mine - and they are also excellent :-b had to wait about 10 working days to get mine thru Demon Tweeks.

Excellent enough that I have ordered rears to match, since finding out the standard ones can't keep up with the abuse they are now getting !

[Spirit]

Forgot the Rotordiscs :$

Wasn't aware BD did them for our rears, any idea of the price of 'em?

[Japmetal]

For mine [through my contact at Demon Tweeks] about £80

For a newer VR4, I wouldn't have a clue if they're listed TBH although I'll look when I get home [in about an hour !]

[Japmetal]

OK; for a listing of BD applications on Mitsubishis look HERE (http://www.motorsportworld.co.uk/frame-detail.asp?PAGE=/black-diamond-brakes.htm)

For the early 8G VR4, rear discs dont appear to be listed [although I wouldnt know if this list is complete]

For the facelift VR4, grooved rear discs are listed at £505.66 :wow:

[Spirit]

They will be the same size - but at £505 I think it's fairly irrelevant :laugh:
