For folks who are curious about the Lancer 2.4L GTS turbo add-on: No, in the end, I did not go through with it. Step1: Changed all four pads from OEM pad to Red Stuff pad. In that same change, also replaced all 4 rotors with new OEM rotors.

What I suspect: If I didn't drive the 1-piston caliper setup to its limits, I wouldn't feel the "extra operation boundary" the 2-piston is giving me.As for the pads themselves, WOW what a transformation in braking performance, now my foot has to only barely kiss the brake pedal before an instant and totally reassuring level of retardation is experienced. On my 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer 2.4L GTS (not the Ralliart, not the Evo), I made two changes starting in May 2018.

We call this real world as it explains in a realistic and safe way how to accelerate this bed in the process. First, make sure you achieve the pad seating – we’re now going to bed the pads in with what we can describe as using “engine torque”. I would not recommend the Orangestuff as they are not suitable for road use as they take a couple of pedal applications to produce any retardation - which is fine in a race situation as you're on/off all the time, but not so good on the road/motorway where you may not touch the pedal for 5-60 minutes. Fast Road/Sports pads are still suitable for road use and though not as good initially at really low temps but can operate at much higher temp ranges without drop off (assuming the brake fluid doesn't boil), they are often made of more aggressive materials and have more chance of wearing down the discs in the processYour pads should feel entirely different to before the process, they should feel sharp and much more responsive. This process is called eliminating “Green fade” by burning off those surface volatiles. EBC Brake Shop is not responsible for any additional costs as a result of extended delivery times, unless prior consent is given in writing by a member of EBC Brake Shop staff. Don't forget that most of the other pad options from the other manufacturers are in the same position regarding their road legal status (i.e. ALL Pagid RS, Ferodo DS, Carbon Lorraine, etc.).
