Good news for Evo X GSR owners - CMC RECALL!

Damn! Which have you all tried? All three versions of the shitty billet SSP before switching to the AMS/Magnus/MAP w/IX CMC design?

Well, SSP took my car to south/north dakota (can't remember) to design their first CMC.

After that they gave me a free rev 1. I put that on with my first ACT 6 puck (still stock motor). then the motor blew up, so I switched out to the rev2 despite having no issues with rev1 from what I heard. Then shortly after that failed and I replaced it with another rev2. Then that failed again so I bought Mlomkers magnus kit and DB that in, however their vendor gave them an OEM replacement evo 8/9 one not a legit one so that failed too. Then I took upon myself to install a new 8/9 one on my magus (worst install ever lol) and since then it has been good.

So the following:

1. stock
2. rev1 ssp
3. rev2 ssp
4. rev2 ssp
5. magnus
6. another magnus

Man, i went through more than i remembered after I started going through it chronologically haha.

Moral of the story, stay with the stock one I guess, that never gave me issues.

What a headache!

You have no idea.

That doesn't include the tow bills either for getting stranded several times.

[Murlo26]

I went for the preemptive strike, failed miserably.

[goodhart]

Yeah, I made that same mistake on my IX regarding something else.

Got my recall notice in the mail last Friday. I'm honestly not too concerned about it though, and since I just flushed my brake/clutch fluid 2 months ago I might hold off and just wait.

Just received 2 recall parts in, one is already being installed and 1 is open. If you are in the Upstate SC area, PM me and I can check to see if your vehicle has the open recall.

Just a heads up, MMNA is request pictures of the calipers before repairs to be completed, I assume to verify condition of the calipers before the brake fluid flushing incase someone attempts to get faded calipers covered.

Repairs is stated to take 3.5 hours, but figure 4-5 hours. (not all dealers have the powered vacuum pump, but just a hand pump) You get the new master cylinder and a full fluid flush.

The recall requires the use of MMNA DOT 3 fluid, PN MZ311987. However, if you talk nicely to the service rep, you maybe able to work something out....
Free brake fluid flush, can't beat that. Hopefully Don Herring & WB Mitsu lets us supply our own fluid :)
