Dang Man, I'm keeping this one in my mental archives, lol. These stock brakes can only get cheaper as more and more Evo/ STi's get totaled/ modded. Awesomeness!!!

TIA

too many projects...
but finally a bit more progress, got a bit more done tonite, just have to tap 2 holes and they're ready to go on, these ones are ugly for sure, machined ones will be nicer. though you can make these in about 2 hours with just a small 1/3 or 1/2 hp bench top drill press like this. my messy ass workbench one more inside hole still missing here, the two inner ones are the ones to be tapped. |

When you're all finished, I'd like a build cost tally.
Also, will you be "sharing" where you can find these sets for that cheap price?

It should be noted though that these calipers have been getting cheaper lately and will continue to as more idiots ball up STI across the country and around the world. I posted a link a couple posts above to the NASIOC classifieds, search there to start, the Vendors classifieds have a few shops that import containers full of parts from japan every month. As for the brackets, pretty damn cheap if you di it yourself. They are cut from standard 1.25"X.5" mild steel bar stock that any machine shop will have in 10 foot legnths, I got a couple of 7" pieces cut and had them notch it in the middle to clear the hub for a total of $35. I'll post up the diagram when Im all finished |

well if the evo rotors must be used, then couldnt the evo brembo calipers be used as well? As far as I knew, they were the same product, just different paint for the different manufacturers. Any for sure answer on this?

You can use the front EVO calipers but the rear ones have a different bolt spacing than the 240SX and STI, so if all your going for are fronts than EVO calipers/rotors are fine, if you want them all around then you need STIs in the rear, so the color match will be off, thats all. |

nice job, very detailed on your swap. I might go with cold rolled bar stock next time you do this, it is a little stronger, but the main thing is that it is more true than hot rolled. Looks better too...lol
