Damn there wasnt much left of those on the inside! How did the rotors look? Glad you were able to find some pads!

All you need now is some stainless brake lines.

Heh, I put SS lines on my last evo at 30k miles. I thought about it but the budget is a little tight right now, so that's one thing that got put on the back burner. Stock lines look minty fresh, so I'll just put on SS next time I do pads/fluid flush.

Re: beaterX project thread
Woot for non easy installs. lol
You should really grease up that suspension, soak it with WD 40 and smear grease all over the threads. Should keep things from getting crusty and rusty.

Re: beaterX project thread
Yea, what is the proper procedure for maintaining these things? Scrub them clean, then lube them with something? If so what? I don't wanna attract MORE dust/dirt that already gets stuck on there.

Re: beaterX project thread
Not sure what the "proper" procedure is, I doubt anyone really every lubes them, but I would.
Id spray them down with WD40 and then smear regular grease on anything that needs to move. Sure dirt and sand may collect on the grease but every 3-4 months while youre doing something else up there, just wipe off the old grease and reapply.
Im a big fan of grease keeping things nice and non rusty/corroded.

Grease idea works really well to keep away the corrosion. |

Re: beaterX project thread
You could try a dry lithium spray; I know LPS makes one that comes in a teal/white aerosol can.

Re: beaterX project thread
Just spit on the coilovers, that should sufficiently lube them up.
Looks like you're doing work on this bad boy. Nice to see ya didn't waste any time getting it up to your standards. I'll have to take a peek at it at the dyno day.

Standards, like functional/non-screaming power steering and brakes that I can trust? Yea, the bar is pretty high there! LOL!
I just wish I had one more week before the dyno day, so much to do! The next two weeks with this car are gonna be insane. Oh well, you'll have to come out to the weekly meets, or check it out at the cookout Pics online cannot show you how beat up the body really is  This thing truely is a beater!

Re: beaterX project thread
I think Matt's implying the pads are a lot easier to swap on the Brembo calipers.
