you should see the jumbuck drums under the 18" then. they look crap. like a tuna can. cant wait to get rid of them
Hey I can't talk - I went the full Brembo swap front and rear.... Mainly because the opportunity was there to get the parts cheap and I was looking for a new challenge.
I do reckon people don't give the stock EVO twin pistons a fair enough go though.
I got my GTO callipers from Trademe cost me $140ish posted for front an rears, (rears wont be used so could of saved a bit on postage there) my adaptors are just made of alloy cnc machined up, ill try get some pics up before a fit them.

Maybe we could organise a group buy? I'm keen to get a set for my conversion too. My mate is taking forever to design and make some up for me!!!!
Are you in Gisbourne Victoria?

I'd be interested in ordering a set but they would have to made from hardened steel. I've heard some bad stories about the ali ones.
I was going to go Brembos too but I've seen first hand what they can do to Evo 3 uprights, not pretty, especially on a competition car.
I may go brembos on the rear though to get some cool hand-brake action happening :lol:

Without getting too complicated, the front Brembo's were too strong for where the upright is bolted to the suspension and the metal shattered putting an end to the days racing.
does $600 include VASS certification?
might be a bit late to chime in on this one but if you guys need cheaper engineering designs, i can help out. if enough people are interested in a group buy, i can whip up some drawings and provide load analyses to aid certification if required.
re: brembos - without seeing it, i'd assume the mounting points were unevenly loaded rather than the brembos being too much for the car. you could always use the e4-6 setup instead.

The guys that made them are acott race craft, they have done rollcages for v8 supercars and have recently done brake upgrades for a ralliart team so I'm sure there design is gonna hold together but anyone is free to source elsewhere, I'm happy with my setup
This may work to make adapter plates, 3rd gen Magnas/ Veradas ( TE,F,H,J,L,W) have the same bolt spacing on their calipers as that of the later Evos . I have seen a picture of an adapter plate that looked like the caliper mounting plate off a magna that had been cut out and drilled to suit smaller bolt spacing of the GSR/Evo1-3 to create an adapter plate for Evo brembos.
I hope that makes sense?

Would love to see some pics...If your using iphone its easy as to upload pics.
Download photobucket from app store its free.
Setup your account, then upload pics from your phone to photobucket account....
Once that's done click on the photo you wish to upload and then tap the i button in corner of screen then tap on the Img code box and it will say link copied...
Then reply in this thread, select paste on the phone and past the img code into your post...Its that easy....
