I tracked an EVO for about 10 years and went through just about every modification you could making the car more reliable and faster. I started out with carbotech xp10 front and xp8 in the rear. Those are great beginner pads with amazing initial bite and a lot of modulation but they will wear quick and they're expensive. Also, once you start compressing your brake zones you'll find they don't have quite the amount of bite needed.After carbotax I went through a bunch of different pads from ferrodo, to hawk to stop tech to pfc and probably a bunch more in between. Ultimately I settled on hawk DTC 60s front and rear.For my driving style the DTC 60 provided amazing initial bite and release without ever overheating, even on Hoosiers. They also lasted really long, almost as long as the pfc08 which is an endurance pad.

I aswell have an evo 9 with the same tires and similar weight. I run hawk dtc 70s in the front and dtc 60s in the rear. If you do not mind swapping pads before the events I love these pads. They will make a lot of noise driving around town tho. I get about 8 to 10 days out of a set of front pads and about 2 to 3 seasons out of a set of rears.
Mitsubishi also claimed the same horsepower numbers were the same from the EVO VIII to the EVO IX and we saw how much of a half-truth that was. Mitsubishi always seems to err on the side of caution when it comes to performance claims.
The brakes offer as much feedback as any other part of the Evo, though pedal feel is softer than the STi's and the antilock brake system makes more noise. Our test car's best 60-0 stopping distance was 115.8 feet.
