Boge Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Hey guys, Searching through eBay and came across these "TAKEN FROM A 2000 MITSUBISHI EVOLUTION 6 TOMMI MAKINEN EDITION" Apparently these have been used on a supra before any ideas on fitment or I'd they'd be any good? Due to lack of cash I won't be bidding so feel free!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boge Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 On this note. What brakes from other cars would fit and work well on the mkiv? (ie better thank stock but relatively simple to swap) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Being Brembo's they will be very good, their very similar to the UK spec set up having 4 piston fronts and 2 piston rears, these can bought from Toyota brand new for approx £1200 for calipers, discs and pads.

Ian C Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I recall, from years past, that while Evo brakes fit, they are a downgrade from UK spec brakes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I recall, from years past, that while Evo brakes fit, they are a downgrade from UK spec brakes? I don't recall hearing that, unless they use a smaller diameter disc i don't see why they wouldn't be as good if not better. Very expensive though and new Brembo 4 piston fronts are going to be around £2500 ish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very expensive though and new Brembo 4 piston fronts are going to be around £2500 ish Surely it's the calliper that'll make the difference in this situation... FWIW I remember reading similar to Ian's thoughts, but can't recall the exact context. Someone did it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Bigger diameter disc gives you more braking power as well as the caliper size/piston size. I'm not saying its not the case but don't see why they would be a downgrade to UK specs, i don't know the spec on the Brembo's or have ever used them so was just thinking in an engineering fashion as to why.

Boge Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 Found some more this time from a 2005 impreza STi.... Would they fit/ made to fit easily/cheaply and would this be of benefit rather than uk brakes (I'm guessing it will be an improvement from the j specs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
