From Hairdresser to Street Thug.......the journey
I went for:
FRONT:
330mm K -Sport 8 port kit (latest version)
Braided Hoses
Carbotech XP10 Pads
REAR:
GodSpeed Grooved Rear Discs
Carbotech XP10 Pads
HEL/Carbotech Braided Hoses
Extras:
Motul RBF600 Fluid 1.5 Litres
Ceratec grease to help prevent squeeking
The K-Sport kit is very well regarded but I really wanted RED Calipers. So I had the Calipers professionally painted Brembo red, which also matches the rear brembos!

To be able to handle such a power increase I decided to invest in a Big Brake Kit upgrade.

Dan_Turism0 lol true although there's still stroker kits available for the Supra
2.2L is still pretty small........ :-p
For me an Evo is all about response, response and RESPONSE! I have seen many cars with 600 - 700+bhp but alot seem to be lag monsters which although fun takes away from what the car is about - (I say it again) RESPONSE and CORNERING! The Evo is not a top-end car and has the aerodynamic properties of a brick so I want lots of low down and mid range power.
If I wanted top end I would get a 2JZ Supra or Aristo
What I am hoping to achieve is a car that drives like a standard car on steroids! :glare:

My car already has:
Bilstein Shocks and lowered on Eibach Prokit springs
Whiteline Rear AntiRoll Bar
I research suspension for quite a while and in the end decided to break the bank and get one of the TOP suspension setups for Evo - afterall handling is what its all about!
Ohlins, EXE-TC, Intrax, Nitrons, KW are the top top stuff. I had a ride in a Evo with Tein Coilovers on which I was initially considering because I do like the EDFC I used to have in my Aristo but I personally didn't think it was the right choice for the natural habitant of an Evo - the Backroads. Great on a smooth road surface but too harsh that leads the car to skip. The last thing I wanted to do was to compromise the handling so after much research and lots of recommendations from people in the know I went for Intrax 1K2!

I combined this with Ralliart Top Mounts rather than the Intrax top mounts because my car is principally a road car.
To aid the suspection to perform at its best I also bought a Whiteline Front Roll Center Correction Kit and a rear bump steer kit.
One thing an Evo does do well is corner!

Its quite common for the OEM dumo valves to fail but people dont notice that much until they put it on the dyno
