We looked into this project a while back. As far as we know, the only meaningful difference between the EVO X calipers and the EVO 5-9 is the mounting bolts are 14mm (as opposed to 12). As far as we know, you can use brackets intended for the EVO 5-9 upgrade (and as ec17pse suggests), and drill them out to 14mm. You also have to use EVO X rotors. We never actually tested this setup, so we don't know if there are any interference problems and the like.
Awesome I will be attempting this conversion
Thanks, I think I'm just going to swap my front calipers for nowI can tell you 100% from experience that the REAR will not direct bolt on like the evo 8/9 rears will. For the rear you will have to dremel out the mounting hole in the dust shield slowly to align with the evo x mounting locations. And then as stated earlier, you can use the evo 8/9 rotors.
