Thanks for all the comments guys. I love the teal, but my GE8 is getting way too much attention. I already had a cop follow me for a couple of minutes. I'm definitely still planning on powder coating the Emotion CR-Kais white.

I sent Mackin Industries my Hawk pads to compare the Project Mus to. They think that EM2 pads are compatible with the GE8. We'll find out soon enough.

I would be quite surprised if the USDM GE8's front brakes were different from the RS here, Project MU already makes pads for the GE8. In fact I purchased the HC+ pads (front/rear) before I even took delivery of my car.

Pads front and rear on mine are same as EG6, EK4 and DC2(nonR).

I tried slapping on the HC+ from the DC2 and they didn't fit.

Guess the USDM and JDM brakes are different. We'll see if the EM2 pads will fit soon. I'm probably going to need new pads after the track day on Sunday. I need new rotors too...
