evo 1 brake compatibility

[dsm2evo]

hey guys I just want to make sure I am understanding something correctly, THe evo 1-3 brake calipers are the same as a 2G turbo dsm correct? If so I know what brake upgrade I am putting on my evo hehe.

 

[EV0300]

276mm twin pot calipers

 

[evo-gsr]

hehehe wicked :cheers:

time for my evo to get a 300$ Big brake kit from a caddy xD

 

[dsm2evo]

I will do a write up on this once I fit everything onto my car, but this is the brake upgrade I have but here is a tip you can buy all this stuff for way cheaper on ebay or even right from a dealership.

I think baz has done this. Look forward to the write up.

Ha ha when you said from a caddy...I was thinking Volkswagon Caddy for some reason!!

 

[dsm2evo]

Haha nope a Cts-V , looking back I wish I got the 6 pot calipers instead of the 4 pots. They both use the same mounts so it's completely interchangeable but the rotor size may be different . I know with the 4 pots you can use the 350z track rotors. They would need to be RE drilled to a 4 log though .

 

[evo-gsr]

The 4 pots will be more than capable I can assure you of that.

Wasnt jack doing Cadillac calipers?

 

[evo-gsr]

He wouldnt pay that much for them!
He would of made some out of someones old trampoline or similar

This set up doesn't actually cost that much , so far I already have everything in the link besides my rotors and I'm sitting at 280$ Canadian $ and rotors are only another 300$ for good ones I could go cheap and get for like 100$ but I'd rather do it right. Honestly not sure how these guys are selling these kits when they sell so cheap already from the dealership lol .

You wonder if those CTSV calipers are the same as something we would have on a similar age HSV/SS?

 

[khubner1]

would think they're the same as the ve HSV

 

[94 GSR]

Even if this is the case, anyone here in OZ will want a crap load for HSV calipers...

 

[dsm2evo]

Here are the OEM AC Delco part numbers for the calipers

front left : 1722287
front right: 1722288

That should make finding the calipers a bit easier!

Update on the installation and comparison to stock evo 1-3 brakes? Thanks!

 

[dsm2evo]

I haven't gotten around to doing the brakes yet , I need to get the car up and running first haha but I will be sure to make another write up once I have finished it

 

[!Jonzap!]

would anyone know the thickness of the spacer for the CTS-V brake kit?
