Is it ok to use regular Duralast Pads? I'm not gonna race my Evo anytime soon. I'm on a tight budget right now, since I got laid off. I just wanted to know if regular break pads would damage the rotors, thanks...
I'm no pad expert, but I have really cheap pads for street use. They stop the car fine, I even used them at the track 2-weeks ago. No problems, but they dust like crazy.. that's really annoying!! So if you're getting street-only pads, my suggestion is to find "low dusting" pads.
No, don't resurface the rotor unless it has warped. I reciently checked my rotor thickness and its below factory recomendations, so i bought new rotors. I've never had to resurface them since new (~80k miles), and have swapped pads litterally dozens of times over the past four years (street to race to street, etc.)
how did you like the ds2500's any noise ?

The front calipers have 4-pistons.. two on either side of the pad. The rears have two pistons, one on either side.

Ok, I got my pad replaced. Do you have a Video on how to bleed brembo breaks fluid? I'm thinking of doing mine soon, thanks...

yes.. squeezing the outside edge of the caliper and brake pad to compress the piston about a quarter of an inch.
