Setting up a evo's suspension

[s1ngletracker]

I've also road raced Napa rotors (as well as Brake and Equipment cheapies) for many, many hours, gotten them very hot, and i've never had one fail. On road courses if you get them hot enough you'll start to see micro-cracks, and once the cracking reaches the outside of the rotor, it's time to replace.

When it comes to autocrossing, there is no need to dump a ton of money into the car, especially if you're just starting out. As long as everything is in a good state of repair, go out and give it a try. If you want to build your car for a certain class or to start to be competitive, then make changes at that point. The universal 'driver mod' will be your best chance at getting faster in autocrosses.

For road courses, you definitely shouldn't run stock pads.

But most likely, as long as your pads still have life, just run them until they need replacing, and then think about upgrading. I think you're on the right track, keep it cheap and simple!
