After coilovers and brakes suit evo1-3

Interesting...
The twin pot front setup on an Evo4 should run 295x25mm discs... at least that's what we get over here

 

[DOUGMO]

my mistake, just checked 294x24 for evo 4
294x28 for 380, they have the same hat height too as i wwas using them on my car a few years back with
wilwoods

We could probably adapt the kit to use the 294x28mm discs with a modification on the brackets and ship the kit disc-less. Brings the cost of shipping down and means you can source locally.

Ah yes, Ben
That was a good few years ago! Back then I believe it would have been the Dynalite kit as we didn't really start doing the 2 piece Superlite kit until 2011 and his order was a good few years before then.
Can you guys source the Evo4 294mm front discs? I have a feeling they weren't as common over in Australia 10 years ago which may have been the issue.

Makes sense then ...

I was assuming nothing had changed in the product design, and going by outdated information from Ben .. I am assuming he was going to continue to have problems with replacing the parts, which is why he went the Brembo ... Can only remember he was quoted a ridiculous price for replacement parts, which is why he didn't want to sell the callipers to me, and have me spend $$$$ on making them fit. By the sounds of it, he could have gone to the wrong supplier here, and maybe misunderstood what local parts could fit instead...

Am 100% happy with the adapter plate, and the help you gave me when I was sourcing the parts to make the GTO callipers fit my current set-up. All worked out with no problems, and even converted the GSR to 5 stud to go with it...

Wheel choice is more the limiting factor with larger brakes on the early evo/gsr.
Especially if you are like me and do not want to run spacers.

I have about 3mm clearance with Wilwood 6 piston calipers(these are there narrow version) without spacers on 13" x 1.1" discs

Also converted rears to 4 piston, with internal drum handbrake setup.

Clean wheels mate.

Do you know where we can locate the centre caps from? I've got a set of Tarmacs as well and would be keen to buy them

Thanks

 

[runuts]

Cheers mate. The centre caps on those came with the wheels when I bought them new about 6 or so years ago.

Came across this post and thought I would put a picture up of my GSR setup as it's different to most but works a charm in pulling me up on & off the track.

Twin pots off a VN Group A with 330mm, they pull up a 1.6ton sled on a track so the little GSR is like a ninja with these

Would that not be a lot of work to make those fit? When there are quite a few bolt on options....

I bought the car with them fitted, to be honest they look like not much effort at all. They have been on for 5 years or so so I'm guessing not too many kits available then. I've had a few people on a track day point them out and rate them highly. I'm looking at getting rid of them & going a wilwood set so I can drop down to a 16".

 

[evo-gsr]

Brembos and Evo 4 knuckles would of been well and truely around 5 years ago.

 

[4piknup]

Are there adaptors in there david?

 

[evo-gsr]

And what rotors? Being that they are still 4 stud too.....

 

[david c]

Just went out and snapped a few pictures

*bushes are being replaced today with superpros

 

[4piknup]

I think they are girlocks? Looks pretty good, i see adaptor plates in there.
interesting discs with 4 studs...

 

[david c]

They are PBR's. They really bite hard and work quite well. I can be hard on them for a long time and not too much fade at all

If there's interest in the Wilwood kits we do, I could put together a better price if there's 3+ people interested?

We could get the shipping cost down to sensible numbers too if I don't ship discs and you source locally as well.
Plus it brings the overal cost down as well
