Lancer Evolution Brake Disc and Pad Kit Front

Brake Disc and Pad Kit Front for the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution: front discs and pads with fitting hardware.

Discs and pads matched to the caliper fitment, which changes by trim on these cars. Performance pads say what temperature they work at, because a track pad that squeals cold on the school run is a common complaint. The Evolution uses active centre and yaw control differentials whose pump and fluid are the parts that fail first, long before the 4G63 does.

Fitting

Labour guide: about 1.5 hours. Japanese manufacturers change parts by build date and by market, and grey imports add a second layer to that. Send the VIN or chassis number with the order and we confirm the part against the build data before anything is dispatched. For imported cars send the chassis plate, because the UK registration will not tell us enough. We are an independent parts specialist for Japanese cars. We are not Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Mazda, Subaru or Mitsubishi and are not appointed by any of them; the names are their trademarks and are used here to describe fitment. We stock genuine, OEM and quality aftermarket side by side and every listing says which is which, because the price difference is real and so, sometimes, is the quality difference.

Which version to buy

OEM is the same part made by the factory supplier, in that supplier's box. Identical in practice and usually 25 to 40 per cent cheaper than genuine. Genuine is in the manufacturer's own packaging with the manufacturer's number on it. Worth it for warranty work and a car with full dealer history. Quality Aftermarket is a respected aftermarket maker we have used ourselves. Good value, and we say where it differs from the original.
