Just got my new evo 1 brakes

[Paul]

VR4 calipers have slightly smaller pistons than the Evo's.

I compared a set of VR4 ones to my Evo ones.

take it and count your losses.

when you get his return address, get someone in his area to drop a gearbox off in his driveway.

pf boys will understand that one.

He wants me to prove that they arent the right brakes.

Drop a gearbox off??

 

[DOUGMO]

well for a start you have 2x lh ones....pretty simple really.

ask him if he has a rh one to suit either of the 2 he has already sent you.

My mate may have a pair (as in LHS and RHS ) of rear EVO calipers. We got them to put on his CE coupe but he sold it and got an EVO7, so as far as I know they're still sitting in storage somewhere.

like i told everyone else, just get a pair of verada twin pot calipers = $50 a pair. SAME as evo except they have the vr4-spec hydraulic fitting.

Then go to your local ABS and get some adr approved braded lines made up to suit, $60 a side. Adds up cheaper than evo calipers!

Man, if it makes you feel any better, Japan Autos in Clontaff Brisbane ripped me off with a pair of coil-overs... Advertised as good condition, got them, fitted them, discovered the fronts were completely dead... would not have a bar of me or help me out.

 

[DZN60]

He is located north melbourne i think as his profile said....



Yeah that does make me feel a little better buddy sorry to hear about your coilovers....this guy is getting pretty worried about bad feedback now so i think ill get my money back...fingers crossed.

[Tripmcneily]

Yeah what can ya do, I rang the owner of the shop, was as diplomatic as all hell too. So now i just spread the word, Japan Autos Clontaff, not recommended at all... They deal a lot on ebay.

 

[JC evo1]

did you buy through EBAY?

 

[JAP63]

Were they HKS ones?

 

[Tripmcneily]

yeah they were, they were being sold over Ebay and through the shop. They were completely cactus, but described as good condition.

 

[philsth]

The non banjo style can also be off a TR TS Magna or KR KS Verada with ABS they are exactly the same as above I have them fitted to my car. I bought Kits for them through ABS they are made by/ Come from MCX Brake parts Part No KX3427S bout $30-$40. MCX are at Wynumn in Brisbane you may be able to deal direct with them.

 

[DZN60]

Nah they are useless two left calipers ...I'm still looking for a Evo set
