I just like to share the solution for for jdm knuckles with the forums. This is how I got the evo X\8 calipers on my 2g knuckle. I was looking for jdm knuckles but there like $500. I had a few set of 2g knuckles and one evo X and 8 calipers lying around. Then I thought of this idea. First I machine flat the back part of the knuckles. Now I have workable surface to make brackets. These brackets could be made out of 3\8" steel or 1\2" T6 aluminum on a CNC machine. The bracket I made will fit the evo X\9\8 Calipers with one exception that evo X calipers must be used with the X rotors and vice-versa with evo 9\8. These pictures are evo X calipers and big 14 rotors. The evo X brakes will require 18" rims minimum, i went with evo 8 calipers to save my 17 rims\tires. Here's the tech artical on how to shave the knuckles.
