294mm brake up grade for evo 1 2 3

[BMGTZ]

I was reading through some websites and saw a couple of posts that intrigued me enough to go out and buy some new mitsubishi brake brakes that fit up to the stock evo 123 twin piston assembly. So basically slide the old bracket that bolts to the hub off...slide on the the new one and fit 294mm discs from the same car as the bracket and bolt up. You will need to redrill the rotors or get custom drilling done in four stud as the new rotor is five stud. looks stock...no adapters. wont make as much difference as say 4 piston upgrade but will tolerate heat for longer before going off. Even seems to take the same pads. I have only fitted it to a stock hub so far....but will fit the whole thing up when the new rotors arrive

had to get the brackets from the USA as although the is available here, mitsubishi wanted a house deposit

16" in wheels will be needed to clear the larger brakes....

So this setup retains the twin pots, it's just a wider bracket so you can fit a larger diameter rotor, is that right? Sounds cool, what car are new brackets from?

I believe so...some guys use the vr4 and some use the evo brakes

 

[micky_vr4]

wouldn't mind putting some bigger rotors on the the vr4 if this works...

cant see this making much of a difference for a road driven car, the only + would be the larger disc taking more heat but i havent been able to push my brakes to fade and ive given them a hard time on the ocean road and through the otways mountain roads.
