evo III shift fork

[gritsak]

im gettin ready to order some evo shift forks before i put my setup back together but im trying to decide on which to get....the regular evo ones with the nylon(i think) wear pads are only like $80 for the set through conicelli....then team rip sells some which they upgrade with some bronze wear pads. but they are like $170 for the set!

im already on a budget and didnt even budget the forks in but i wanna get them anyways to save trouble in the future.

im not sure how much it matter but the car wont get driven that much, mostly at the track anyways so does it REALLY matter if i save the $90 and get the ones with the plastic pads?

any input would be appreciated. thanx

what do you want him to say? you can probably get away with the forks with the plastic, but why take chances? the plastic is known to get brittle and break off. if you can afford it go with the bronze.

i want to give me an actually reason with experience or knowlage that can prove that the bronze pads are worth the extra money.

obv. they are better but since my car will rarely get driven and most the time at the track is it really worth it.

why do the pads wear out? due to mileage (i.e. lots of shifting) or due to hard shifting...

True, the plastic doesn't go well with synthetic lubricants that a lot of us use, it's chemistry and they have notoriously been known to go. Get the TRE ones.
