[talonalex92]

K awesome thanks.

 

[djoutrage17]

Are these brackets on ebay? Or do i contact kmv?

 

[kmv]

Just pm me or email me at [email protected]

 

[Sirnixalot]

to the guys who have this conversion up and running what size master cylinder are you using and how is the pedal travel?

 

[djoutrage17]

Ok guys I'm going to tackle this on the weekend.

1 grind a little off the caliper
2 grind the ears of the knuckle
3 tap knuckle


I have a 2gb am I missing anything?

Ow and the evo rears use a banjo not like the dsms that use a flare fitting. I assume no one changed the rears to banjo but I wasnt sure.

Could I reuse the brake lines from an Evo 9? I was just wondering if not SS brakes lines then.
thanks in advance.

Looks great man... how about some side angle shots please.

 

[Snail_GS]

Looks good Nikolay, How much did you have to shave off, in order to get the caliper clocked up?

 

[JMiller]

So, you only have to cut/grind something if you want them clocked upward right?

 

[psycho]

97+ you have to grind the knuckle either way.

I'm kinda confused after reading 8 pages. Will stock '95 GSX brake lines connect to the brembo's or do i need to get ones for an evo? I will most likely get stainless just want to know which to buy.

I just put the EVO IX brembo's on with the JDM knuckles and the SS lines I was using on the GSX calipers worked just fine. Should be the same with the caliper bracket and stock knuckle.

I have the Project Mu big brake kit for the Evo and it came with lines. The lines did not work with my 2g so I bought Goodridge SS lines for a 2g. I hope that clears it up. BUT the rear lines for the 2g will fit the rear Evo calipers.

I used the stainless lines from RRE that were already on my car for the stock brakes. I have not had any issues.

 

[dsmspick]

Cool stainless 2g lines it is. Thanks guys!!

 

[burkgonzo]

Need more pics of 1g installed brakes!

 

[Jason_Crowe11]

What do u want to see? I posted a couple pics of mine.

They fit with kmv's brackets by simply machining/grinding a little off the back of the calipers.

I have had my brembo swap done for about 2 weeks now and i hardly ever drive the car but the other night i was driving and all of the sudden i lost brakes. My guess is its the master as i had a problem when i was trying to bleed the brakes with the master and did a quick and dirty rebuild of it.

Has anyone else had problems killing master cylinders?

 

[13guest13]

there is probably still air in the system. i just did a brembo swap on mine last weekend and i bleed it like ten times before i got all the air out.

heres a pic of my brembo swap

 

[JMiller]

Could this be done in 1 day, like start in the morning and be done by sundown? Because i only get 1 day off at a time and rely on my dsm to get to work. Also what tool is everyone using to shave/cut their knuckle with?

Thanks

 

[13guest13]

it took me from 9 am to like 6 to do it. i used a metal grinder to shave down the knuckes. the longest part is the shaving, once that is done its basically a basic bolt on. i could have done it faster but i was doing it while at work...i work at a mechanic shop

Heres mine. Whoever gets this set up should also look into getting a bigger master cylinder. I couldn't get a stiff pedal with the stock mc. Then i got a mc from a 2000 eclipse and no problems.
