Default Brake systems

I was just wondering what everyone has on their outlanders! I know many previous threads

This is more of an informational thread. I currently have a 2009 Outlander SE and am looking for some nice looking/performing brakes to replace my oem brake system.

Just post your model year/brake rotors/calipers/pads you use/used. Post reviews and/or past experiences !

Pictures of your brakes are welcome, show off your brakes!

Stainless steel lines and drilled/slotted rotors are usually a good way to start for just about any vehicle. I am pretty sure the Outlander and Outlander Sport have the same braking system, but I am not positive. I think I read somewhere that the Outlander family can also upgrade to Evo brakes and some of their upgrade kits as well, but again, not positive.

My 2009 is also approaching her first brake job.
What are some upgrades I can do as I'll be providing the labour and can therefore splurge on parts. Is there a kit I can get for all 4 corners?
How much of an improvement are SS lines without replacing the calipers?

I don't want a ridiculous look - I'm more of a black caliper/drum guy instead of yellow or red.

Changed the pads out at 75k miles. Left the old rotors on. New pads are Wagner ThermoQuiet. Very grabby at first, but has settled down now and works extremely well...as good as or better than OEM.

Call up RRM and ask, they have some big/showy brakes on their company Outtie sport.

It looks like stop tech. But I'd think brakes are fairly easy to share amongst mitsubishi, think Evo brakes

Burt: yeah i also hear the evo brakes are compatible, anyone can confirm?

I want to upgrade to a system that is somewhat performance, but more for show. I saw these from EBC and I kinda liked them a lot..

i also think power stop are compatible, are they a good brand?

i would really love to put brembo in.. but havent done enough research..

Ok I'll give you the bad news lol...

Unfortunately the brake caliper bolt hole centers on our or most outlanders are 130mm and Evo caliper bolt hole centers are 160mm so as you can see there's 15mm on each bolt hole..
Hence why I'm making adaptor plates to counter this prob, and also try get braking on the outer most part of the rotor to achieve maximum braking too

Ours are merly single pot fronts, can ou believe that!!! But they do stop rather nicely tho.. But bigger is better...and my brembos will look better on the outtie than on the shelf growing dst
