Of all the corrections and improvements I tried to do on the brake system of the Evo, nothing seemed to completely cure the problem. Although the pierced brake line is not really a brake related issue, the cracked rotor is.
Even though I've heard on the different boards that a lot of guys successfully track their Evo's with the highly rated stock Brembo's, every track and every driver is different, so I really can't go by that.
In the final analysis, I just decided to bite the bullet and put on a big brake kit on the fronts of my Evo. I just recently installed the Stoptech 355mm rotors and 6 piston caliper BBK for my Evo. Can't wait to try it out on the track next season. Hopefully, this will solve the brake issues.
Bob- Yes the front calipers were originally red, but now they are almost black. The rears are not used as hard and are still red.
