I dont drive fast enough to justify this :whistling:

 

[fq-craigus]

lolz none of us do........... lol

as far as im aware you will need bigger wheels to fit the calipers in and obviously bigger discs to fit the brakes

 

[EVOIV MJC]

Brembo calipers
Braided hoses
Caliper bolts
Bigger disks to suit
Wheels to fit over the said calipers

Hi mate, well, my brother in law is in the car business and he has lots of mates that give him bits dead cheap, but are the Brembo calipers of the later Evo's all the same as the earlier ones? as I have only seen later Evos there?

 

[fq-craigus]

Later ones are bigger so I think you will need the mounting bracket for the caliper

 

[Steve220]

Only the 10's have larger brembo's, 5-9's have them same calliper and brake sizes.

No bracket required. Brembos from Evo 5-9 will bolt straight on using the brembo bolts.
You'll also require the discs and pads from an Evo 5-9 also

Just thought..the weight of those buggers will probably cost me more in excess baggage weight charges! :meh:

 

[B6lee]

Yes

There will be loads of people selling them on the MLR if you're after a set.
