In simpler terms, he should get sports discs to accommodate the new sport rotors.

He can even use the Brembo setup from the EVO's.

[A.W.O.L]

^^brembo's nice but i heard is like $1500 for brake pads
compaired to $285 for wagners...

[idlemind]

Amazing how life takes a full circle....

Have a look here guys

Back in the day when the CS old farts were asking the same questions lol.

....and when I rocked those MOMOs
car looked damn sexay boy...anyway.

Ive been using Wagner pads for over 2 years now on the OEM and R1 rotors.
I left on the same pads when I changed my rotors for the first couple weeks

Reason?? Well there were a couple.
I wanted to notice the changes in braking because of the Rotor and Rotor only.
I wanted to see the wear on the old pads to see if they couldve taken the slots and groves.

After a couple days of 'light' braking the dust the pads and the grating noise the pads made were gone.

I changed out the pads in a month and went back with the Wagners ZD904 which are plain old regular street pads, I think Wagner also has a performance set for it too.

But to be honest, I only remember I change the rotors when ppl notice them because the braking is better than OEM (granted I got used to this by now), the rotors never warped, the pads wear evenly, and they dont prematurely so its like life before the R1 rotors less the warped feel.

And I dont baby these things...I brake hard and fast and Im not afraid to call for ABS when needed, sheit I even called on it today. And well Dex is a brake pad nightmare multiply by the four runs you required make and to stop in a small ass box

And well lastly someone had to be the guinea pig and try out sumtin new.
I took the task and wasnt disappointed by the cheaper alternative.

[turbo_beast369]

yeah I went up POS and got the bulbs...

A guy saw them and he wanted it to buy so I sold him the green and the UV ones lol

no boi I goin POS 2moro 4 sure....

[ZeroOne]

A.W.O.L, Sorry about that bro, I could of swear you wanted the red. It was nice of you to organize someone to take them though.

turbo_beast369, & EVA Unit-01, When allyuih get the LED's remember this:

1. There is no way to know where on the IP slot is negative or positive. The LED also does not have any negative or positive indicators.

So if after installing LED's they dont light just turn them the other way.

2. The LED's fit very very tight, you will have to push it very hard in the slot.
Do not turn them after they are fully in the slot, just push them in.

The tightness is sufficient to hold them in place.

Id like to thank the folks at superbrightleds for making this all possible very good customer service and on time shipping despite the problems with my Credit Card.

And finally.

Presenting complete 100% LED conversion, no cheap bulbs on this IP all lighting produced by High Powered SMT LED's.





I must add that this thing is really really bright. Brighter than i imagined. There actually is a bright red glare on my face in the night when theyre on.

If you look at the RPM gauge you would see that the redline blends in with the whole gauge.

[idlemind]

RED!!!!

[A.W.O.L]

:shock:

RED!!!!

lol..
zero that's no seen...but i'll call u to get info cuz i have some family goin and comin in april so i could have it shipped to them so they could bring it for me....

[ZeroOne]

:shock:

Yea its an eye catcher.

The Red light actually shining through the gear indicators too.

[idlemind]

lol...i gotta see this in person

i still prefer my white and red yes but i like the brightness you getting there

[EVA Unit-01]

no boi I goin POS 2moro 4 sure....

i workin in Piarco today & tomorrow, so i cud check u afta 5pm 2 get dem?

oh, d Brembo slotted rotors quoted @ $1600. idle, u had find ne problemswit d Brembo's in ur rotor research???



ZeroOne, d red lookin good! but i doh like how u no longer have a "redline" daz y i opted 4 d green. will post pics 2 wen i install (as well as pics of d other rice on d outside, dat long ovadue)

[ZeroOne]

Remember that other colors will not reflect as well on the needles as the needles are red. Thats why I choose red. The redline on the RPM is solid so you will always see it no matter the color LED.

We'll see when you all post pics.

I actually considering ordering some more colors this thing is just gorgeous.

[idlemind]

Google the product line EVA.

I think I came across rusting and warping on the sloted Brembos.

[turbo_beast369]

EVA Unit-01 schedule rel tight this evening....have some stuff 2 do after work (4pm) barber @ 6 pm....then hadda pack and organise for tobago 2moro leavin home 3.30 am....so pressure...
