New RA Sportback owner

[Kridje]

Hello everyone. I'm the proud new owner of a brand new wicked white RA Sportback with Recaro's and Rockford sound system. I just found this site and can't wait to dive in.

Welcome. Love the WW ra's.

BTW... I live up in Santa Clarita and have yet to see another Sportback RA on the road up here. So if there are any other RA owners in the SCV, hit me up!

Thanks for the welcomes everyone. This is truly an awesome car. As far as tuning goes, the first thing I want to do is address the brakes. I understand that the Evo X's Brembo's are not compatible with the RA. Anyone have any suggestions or workarounds?

Robi-Spec has a BBK out already, if you're looking to spend some coin.
Otherwise Stop Tech was in development of a kit.

If 6-8 grand sounds like a lot of money for you, consider upgrading your pads lines and rotors. Hawk, Endless and Project Mu all have good OEM replacements.

I would recommend you contact RRE http://roadraceengineering.com for details and pricing.

Thanks Blaze. I like the look of those Project Mu pads and rotors. I also see AMS has a Ralliart big front brake kit for $1439.95. http://www.amsperformance.com/cart/ams-mitsubishi-ralliart-brake-kits-lines.html

Nevermind... these won't work with RA's 18x7 factory rims, but will work on Evo X wheels mounted on the RA. http://www.amsperformance.com/cart/AMS/Wilwood-MitsubishiLancer-Ralliart-Big-Front-Brake-Kit.html
