Brake rotors......

[DjB]

Hey guys.....

VR4 brake rotor size? Aaannnnndd, can i assume that EVO 1,2,3 have the same stud pattern (114.3) as the VR4s? And does anyone know the measurements of the EVO rotors... Im looking at upgrading the Sigmas brakes. I have some kick ass 4 pot calipers and i now need some rotors...

Thanks guys

Chris

i'm pretty sure the vr4 front rotors are 297mm

 

[JSTYLE]

I have some rotors.. they are 276mm

yep
vr4/e1/2/3 are all 276mm

 

[Velocity Racing]

yep face lift and aussie spec and evo 1-3 are 276mm

early JDM vr4's (with the single spot brakes) are 267mm..

the rears are 267
the fronts are 256

 

[DjB]

bigger rears...

thats odd.... I have some Celica st205 gt4 4 spot calipers...I need some 300-310mm rotors... I reallty wanna stop proper.. LOL.. I reckon ill have more braking power than engine power... However, on that note, priliminary power runs have netted 120kw.... May not sound like much, but remember that Im running a 4G54, naturally aspired.... Its a freshened 23 year old motor.... 76kw to 120... cant wait to get it in the car....

aahh know I know what brakes are on my Lancer, prefacelift vr4 267mm,

thats why I cant fit 14" rims

thanks anyway

Im going after market, you can buy brembos for about 1100 off and evo but there just the fronts or I found some ones called willwood, which I think, I will get these (4pots) custom sloted rotors and mounting brakes but s#*t it will pull up well

EVO 1 RS rotors

how long can u wait for the rotors, i will upgreading my stoppers in october when i come home for R n R. if u are interested let me know.. they are in pretty good condition fron memory..

if you guys are keen, i will be gettin some 3000gt brackets made up..
the gto brakes themselves are 4pots.. and sell for around $500.00 a pair from various wreckers...



17" wheels minimum...


ill be looking into these soon

sounds good barry
ive had a lot of trouble finding 3000gt calipers though

the brackets though, someone in the US was selling them, so i guess it'd be easier if we could get a cad drawing of their design

 

[grumbly]

use volvo calipers, cheaper, smaller and probably just as effective. 3000gt calipers are huge brutes, wish I'd used something smaller on the cordia.

 

[BobWrinkle]

Barry any chance you can get 2 sets of brackets made up??

PM sent.

volvo calipers?
i really doubt they would be made for trackwork
and the range of performance pads for them would be quite limited

but i could be wrong..

 

[VR-4-PLAY]

Volvo prides itself on being some of the safest cars out there, (and everyone knows they are the heaviest :wink: ) so i would be guessing their brakes are pretty serious

 

[BobWrinkle]

But the 3000GT ones are soo pretty. They sy Mitsu on them :wink:

is it hard to retain the abs if you upgrade to a diff rotor / claiper setup ? cos im thinking of just finding some galant gsr calipers (twin spot) & ordering some new 276mm slotted rotors & putting some semi race temp pads onto them. but 'most' gsr galants didnt come with abs as it wasnt stock.

wheres the sensor mounted?

 

[tharaka]

the sensor reads off the hub doesnt it?
so the calipers/rotors shouldnt affect it

 

[bazeng]

thats right taco, it shouldn't kill the abs..
although vr4 abs do suck

btw taco, how'd u fix your abs problem?

ill see if i can get a few brackets made up..

i just gave the car to "ABS"
they found out the left cable had cracked/broken internally
so they just got an auto-elec to replace the cable

what size rotors will the brackets/calipers be good for?
