2G Front EVO Brembo calipers with 13.1 adapter

Does anyone know if the 13.1 rotors and caliper brackets from this thread:

will work with the evo 8/9 calipers intead of using the 3s calipers?

The stock EVO 8 knuckle mounting bolts are about .5" closer the inside of the rim than the stock 2g knuckle, meaning the caliper is pushed further away from the knuckle center. As we all have seen the EVO 8 mounting holes are directly over top and interfer with the 2g holes.

The bracket he fabbed up says the bolt spacing on the stock knuckle is 127mm and the 3000gt mounting holes are spaced 157mm. I think a bracket could be fabraciated to make the EVO 8/9 calipers work. The only thing would have to be changed would be the rotors. If you could space the caliper to knuckle mounting bolts about 20-30mm apart so they wouldn't interfer with each other than use a 13.0-13.5 inch rotor. Once again 17" and under might not make the cut.

So yes I think a different version of his bracket could work.

well I just got 2 evo8 front calipers and will be modifying the designed bracket from the previous post to be used with the 13.1" or 13.8" evo rotors. I'll keep you guys posted.

I just measured the mounting bolt distances on the evo8 caliper and they are indeed 157mm so it will bolt to the bracket that wortdog designed.

What I want to check out is what combination of rotor/spacers/washers are needed.
