Evo Brembo Brake Conversion

Hi, I was looking around at pricing and options for my r33 gts-t and the evo brake kit looked quite good.  Where is the best place to get the brackets from ?

I found this place cheaper http://madparts.net/version-2-evo-89-to-nissan-240sx-brembo-caliper-conversion-br289240.html

I know alot of ppl have used Alpha Omega for their brackets.  Im all for buying local but their prices are a bit high.  Website prices don't include GST or delivery

http://alphaomegaracing.com/c/63/R33.html

Calipers with gst and delivery will be $1450-1500. You don't have to look to hard to find these at around $1k

rotors $520+, can get for about $400

brackets are around $900 with gst and postage. I think for just a few brackets that is a bit steep, when the brackets themselves cost nearly the same amount as the actual evo calipers.

Any other thoughts or ideas ?

Isn't this the answer to your question?

Ive googled quite a bit on here and you come up quite a bit in brake threads so u know your stuff.

Evo brakes around 1400-1500. The Attkd brakes are around 2200.  How much more better are the attkd brakes compared to the evo brembo's ?   Also for future parts like rotors and pads would the attkd be more expenisve with less options than the evo's ?

My thoughts are that once you get to the point of spending as much as you have to to put Evo brakes onto a car, that paying a little more for brand new equipment is probably worth serious consideration.

There are plenty of people on here who have these or related brakes on their cars and love them.  They use a common sized pad.  And when the rotors need replacing you will probably find there are options available. I haven't looked into that part of it because I'm not looking for more braking.

    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
    • Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol. 
    • I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
