Hey i've been doing abit of research about brake upgrades for the VR4.

I know the EVO IV's and AWD magnas run 294mm rotors with prety much the same caliper as us (same pad anyway) and was wondering if any onw had made up brackets to use these rotors. Its only 9mm different so i thought brackets might be abit tight.

Then i found the Triton 4x4 rotors DBA237 at 314mm (same 45.5 offset, 24mm max thickness, 22.4 min, obviously would need to buy blamk rotors and get 4 stud holes drilled) these require a 19mm bracket made up and 17's

lol im not looking that big.
After good street upgrade from my 252 rotors and single pots on my early 87 vr4. Which ever way i go im going better pads and new slotted rotors.
Im just decideing on the caliper and disk upgrade. For the fronts.

One option is just go twin pot vr4 calipers with better pads and slotted rotors
Or im looking at an upgrade to 276mm rotors and early twin pot verada calipers, which take same pads as evo1-3.

294 and twin pot calipers off a 03 AWD verada grabbed my eye.

Ill keep whoring this and other foums comming up with what i want, just though id ask about the 294mm rotor and verada caliper upgrade.

The KJ AWD verada 03 onwards run the 294 rotor, but id need brackets made up to bolt the caliper on correct?

Ill keep searching and ask more informed and specific questions later.....
 
3000GT / GTO front brakes.. Guy on ebay sells the bracket for the calipers, tells you which year to get aswell. then its redrill and bolt in apparently, but will need 17" wheels i think as a minimum.

they are.


gto calipers require spacers so the wheels clear the calipers unless you get the right wheels, there are only a few that will clear and fit nicely under stock guards (evo5 being one of those)
 
the late model magna awd calipers dont bolt up to the earlier twin spot type, even though from the front they look the same and take the same pads the bolt spacing is bigger.
to spend the money on fitting them you would then be better off going to the 4 spots if your going that far.
you would also ask if you have upgraded other things in your original brake system enough? enough to out do what you really need? or are you just doing it for fun?
things like braided lines make a huge diff, even to ther point of weather your fluid boils or not.

Nah not doing for fun, just brakes are due so while im at it im looking for a sensible upgrade as ill be hunting for more power and id like to have brakes. And spend more money on the motor.

Twin pots, good pads and larger slotted (276mm) rotors ive decided on.
Ive read threads where evo guys run better pads a slotted rotors and they are good for light track work, plenty for me.
Im more intersted in street use and some hill runs.

And no im not doing for wank factor, just though id ask about the 294mm upgrade, id it was also bolt on.
 
i have 294mm evo4 rotors on my car with outlaw 4 piston calipers,
redrilled the rotors and got custom brackets made.

i wanted to run the 380 rotor but it ofset the caliper out too far so i
settled on the evo4 rotor
 
pm me your mobile number mate as ive had so many offers i have to commit to someone....
