Evo Brembos Onto Gtr

[Aggroman]

Can you go into a bit more detail? BE greatly appreciated.

Have you run the MX72 pads before? What pads were you running on your old original R32 brakes?

So you have not tracked it but sounds like you have driven it plenty on the street. Do you have ABS? You have uber power so guessing you have used them for hard stops? If you have ABS does it kick in far earlier than before? What % increase or decrease do you have in pedal effort to stop the car in general driving.

LOL, lastly what BMC are you running ... sorry about all the questions

Ive driven this a few times. This was before the mx72's though, Pedal feel was very close to stock for normal conditions but the pads were shizen and didnt pull up amazingly compared to my setup but mines silly when in speeding conditions. BMC was a BM57 running ABS

I have also driven pezheads GTR with the same setup but smaller discs with Hawk HT10's and it brakes stupid well! a very slight chirp in the last 5m coming to a standing stop in emergency braking situations no ABS shuddering.. Braking feel is similar to mine which is a bit touchier than stock on initial bite (needs less pedal effort about 10-15% less distance/pressure) so it will take maybe 20 mins to adjust over a daily but then its fine. This was also ABS and BM57

For Reference roy im running 33GTR brembo's with 345mm rotors, Endless CCRG pads and a BM44 also abs but it almost never kicks in.

Just a quick question, can evo IX rotors (320x30) be used with R34 GTR brembo calipers which run 324x30 rotors?

Cheers

A few seconds with the DBA catalogue tells you that the height of the R34 rotor is 53.8mm and the height of the Evo9 rotor is 43.5mm. So trying to jam the R34 Brembo caliper over the Evo rotor is likely to result in disappointment. Of course, there would be little point in doing so, seeing as you can get the right rotors for that caliper.

If you're talking about some whacky custom fitment on some other car, then you are potentially free to make your brackets so that the rotor is centred in the caliper. You could also then locate the caliper so that the 4mm difference in diameter is not so much a problem.

Thanks for the info.

Interesting. These are the prices I got when looking at this option:

$350 ALPHA OMEGA Evo 350mm Brembo billet aerospace alloy caliper adapter kit

$850 Pair of Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 Brembo front calipers (used)

$120 Brembo caliper rebuild kit for one pair of calipers

$200 Brembo brake caliper rebuilding service for one pair of calipers

TOTAL = $1520

+cost of Discs and Brake lines.

I opted to go for the D2 8 Pot 356mm kit instead. Bigger, cheaper and came with everything required. (and it's all brand new)

 

 

Would you guys vote for D2 over brembo ?

I did but they have no street cred and don't come in red.

D2's?

OK they didn't used to - mine came in a fetching pastel colour like this:

My Brembos came in red, but after an overhaul with new seals etc I painted them black.  Absolutely no cred.

But they work.

And they took a bit of work to make fit.

Nice. They come in a range of colours. I just asked Import Monster to order them in red, and they came in a couple of weeks.

well part of the braking is the tires, what rubber are you guys using for comparison?
