EP3 Type R

[typercivic]

has anyone changed their brake pads yet? what did you go for?

[BongStyle]

don't know if this has been covered but what tyres are we all running on our ep3s? im in great need of some new treads...anyone heard about kumho ku23s? they are $550 fitted whereas i called up bridgestone and adrenaline RE001s will be $1300!

[typercivic]

it was covered a while back in the thread....just got to skip back when you have the time. I've got bridgestone potenza re-o1r and they are great tyres. Just did a track day with them and were awesome at about $250 per corner can't complain either.

Kumho for $550 is really cheap.

i have Falken ZE912 which is not too bad at around $200 each. i wanted FK452 which was only $15 more each but they only had 3 in stock at the time.

last time i checked RE001 at 215/45/17 was around $250 each. i would have got these if i wasn't getting 18s.

finding pads and rotors are proving difficult....rotors in particular.

Rotors is same as AUDM DC5, so shouldn't be too hard.
I have a new set of front pads, they are Ferodo DS2500 if you're interested man.

fd2r gear knob fitted. feels pretty good. anyone else changed their gear knob or shift boot? maybe to a leather/red stitched one?

i've got a leather black with red stitching boot with the stock gear knob. When it gets more worn out will replace it with skunk2 one.
