[bOOstd GSX]

Can I use the rotors and calipers from an evo on my 2g gsx?

 

[bOOstd GSX]

call the dealer and compare part numbers. Worth a try.

 

[MNGSX]

No...


Not directly...

You will need to fabricate a bracket to mount the caliper off of the eclipse caliper bracket.

Look at an AEM big brake install and the plate they use... Like that but drilled to match the brembo's off the evo...

 

[bOOstd GSX]

is it possible to buy brackets from brembo?

 

[MNGSX]

Probably not..

 

[bOOstd GSX]

dude $500 bucks for all four corners. pads, calipers, rotors, lines... everything. Only used for about 1000 miles.

Same concept just different calipers....

Links and pics aren't working. What material would I use to make these brackets? I wouldn't wanna make them and it break. That wouldn't be too good . I can cut metal, my uncle owns a bodyshop.

OK I took a pic of an article on a big brake install on a 240sx in the march 2003 edition of HCI. I will have to fabricate the red piece in order for the evo brakes to fit, correct?

 

[MNGSX]

Yes a plate like that..

Did you ever get the brakes and fab up a mounting bracket?

 

[bOOstd GSX]

No I didn't. I did get 4 piston calipers and rotors from a vr4 300gt (only the fronts), I fabricated a mounting bracket and they will be on shortly. Pics forcoming.

 

[L2RTSiAWD]

Sounds good.

Either way a cheap 4-piston setup is a cheap 4-piston setup.

Can't wait for the pics.

 

[bOOstd GSX]

I painted them red, but they are in my dads garage or I would take pictures. I have this picture I took a while ago. I might throw some "brembo" stickers on them for good measure. They are only like 10 bucks on Ebay. Sorry about the lighting.

 

[L2RTSiAWD]

Cool, I'll check ebay later.

Definitley want impressions once you get them on.
