Carbotech brake pads. I had them on my last Evo and they were astonishingly good.

My wife, for never moaning about the outlay….yet!

Chris is obviously just getting this, his third Evo project, under way.  We hope to hear more about the all the things this beast will accomplish in 2010.  Do you have an early Evo?  What do you think about this one?
