It's true what most bros here commented about the IS250 brakes....at one point my IS 250 brakes became spongy & it took time for the car to stop after i applied the brakes..Fearing that the brakes might fail all of a sudden...i sent it to get its front & rear brakes changed...I had its front brakes upgraded to F Sport Front Brake Upgrade where it features six-piston fixed calipers and drilled cast-iron rotors with a patented internal-fin design mounted on anodized aluminum hubs. Braided stainless-steel brake lines and installed a low-dust performance brake pads.

Meanwhile the Rear Brakes was upgraded to F Sport Rear Brake Upgrade where it uses four-piston fixed calipers and drilled cast-iron rotors. Braided stainless-steel brake lines and low-dust performance brake pads were also installed...Eventhough this upgrades cost me quite a fortune....but at least i feel safe when i'm speeding or apply a heavy braking....Thanks bros...
Whoa so you really did follow my previous poison to use IS-F monster brakes now! :biggrin:
Where did you install, KS Brake Sunway?

Yeah of course, pedal should feel more meaty and should be much easier to lock up and engage your ABS now. :biggrin:

These would be F-sport units for your model specifically, or from the IS-F?

Must have been quite an investment there, do post pics of the work CLS78

Should be the IS-F. I've seen the kit before in KS Brake Sunway where bro CLS78 installed, and yes it costs a fortune! :biggrin:

Wira just get something from Mitsubishi is more than enough already. :biggrin: Brembo from newer Evo... But by doing that, the wheels will become 5 lugs and PCD will be different. :biggrin: I have seen it before in my university driven by a student... Wira with real 4 pot Brembo.

Ok - so here's what I do to wash, polish and wax my car. Ages ago I bought a Zymol starter pack and it came with everything I needed. Zymol and another brand called Swissol are very upmarket waxes and polishes. You may feel they're a bit extreme for your car - and in the great scheme of things - they probably are. But I'm a believer in "you get what you pay for".

It all comes down to how much you love your car, your personal budget and preference. For example - the wax & polish I like...
