I was recently asked on one of our local forums about this topic and thought that this knowledge might be useful for other fellow Canadian Evo1 owners out there.

Lancer Evolution 1 Brakes (EBC)
Evolution 1 Front pads have 2 styles. 128x51x16mm part# dp3830c
150x59x16mm part# dp3954c

Evolution 1 Rear pads have 1 style only. 98x44x14mm part#dp3576c

Evolution 1 Rotors only one style for both types of pads. Front part# D671
Rear part# D854

North American Equivalent Cars and Part Numbers (EBC)

Eclipse 1997 GST (FWD) front pads 128x51x16mm part # DP2830
Eclipse 91-85 GSX (AWD) front pads 150x59x16mm part# DP2954
Gallant VR4 2.0l (E38A) (E39A) Rear pads 98x44x14mm part# DP3576c

Brake Rotors.
Gallant VR4 90-92 (E39A) Front D671
Volvo s40/v40 1.6l 96-04, 1.8l 95-04, 1.9 turbo t4 (200bhp) 98-04, 2.0l 95-04. Part #D854

I got all this information by using EBC uk website. I collected all the Evolution 1 part numbers and started cross-referencing them to other Mitsubishi cars until I found the matches. You�ll notice some of the brake pad part numbers are not the same. This is due to the different qualities of the pads offered by EBC. The evo pads are sometimes the �upgrade� to lesser quality pads on the eclipses ect. If you wish to confirm my findings I came up with all the above info I used the EBC brakes and Summit racing.

Nice find!

I wonder what the exact differences are....

[YellowEvo1]

from what I can tell by compareing the part numbers the only differences i saw was the evo pad quality stock was better than the eclipse and GVR4. the thing I wonder about is why is there 2 different styles of front brake pads?

judging by the dimensions it looks like one is to suit Evo twin pot calipers and the other to suit lancer gsr single pot calipers.

p.s. you want carbotech pads

[YellowEvo1]

yeah i agree with ya on the carbon tech. i used ebc to do all me researching because it was fairly easy to compare everything and they make northamerican stuff so it was able to make sure the na parts were actually gonna be avalible

i have noticed that in the ebc book/part listing before, if you order the
ones they list for ce9a you will get the wrong pads.

I cross referenced the pad against the vr4 ones to make sure
they were correct.
