hi,

Today I got delivered my new / used rear evo caliper, to mount this went just fine. but the problem was when I had installed the new brake discs that they were too young to not pass along with the calipers! so what I'm wondering is what size the rear brake discs are? I live in Norway so we do not use inches in size but mm. the ones I got was 265/10mm to it was too small. so wondering what size I need?
 
Is this a BabelFish translation, because a few words don't make sense? Write in Norsk or Svenska and I'll have my wife read it to me. Also, which Evo? 8/9?
 
I am not sure how accurate this is, but I just found this real quick

Rear Brake Size 300.001 mm | 11.9 in. x .9 in.

I have done the swap as well and the rear evo calipers and rotors fit perfectly without the dust shield, I am thinking you were sent the wrong rotors for sure

okay thx. yeah the brake disc that i got didn't fit at all. they where to thin, not ventilated and the disc whent to far inn så i wasn't able to bolt on the caliper!
 
The once you have are for a Lancer Sedan Relliart Model with 2.4 Engine, (Outer Diameter 261.9mm, Thickness 10.0 mm).
Premium Dimpled and Slotted Brake Rotors

The once you need are for a Lancer Evolution AWD, (Outer Diameter 300 mm, Thickness 22mm).
Premium Dimpled and Slotted Brake Rotors

Hope this helps to clear it up.

Edit,

Click where it says (rear) Click for Rotor Dimensions and it shows all what you need to know.
 
I only have one thing to add. We considered using the RalliArt rotors on my X, but decided not to use a solid rotor on a heavy car. I wouldn't do anything serious with those.

But I don't see that as an option for a DSM, because the new RalliArt, like the Evo X, has the larger drum brake that does not match any other car in the world with a 5x114 bolt circle.
