rear brembo option?


Recommended Posts

playing around and found the stock 9's fit over these. VERY little clearance, but it did spin and not scrape...

once i get the fronts worked out im going to move on to the rear rotor/caliper upgrade. It may include a small ebrake caliper on one wheel or an electronic line lock that is actuated with the stock ebrake handle. Im still looking for a caliper though. maybe 3000gt rear caliper?

whats the offset on the rear disc compared to the starion. Cause really if its different this doesnt tell you anything about the caliper fitting or not. Did you measure it?

 

This was not done by myself, It was done by another member on austarion. Pm Silo on austarion or i think silobin on this forum. He is the man who did the rack and pinion conversion aswell.

sorry man i was referring to the sq rim on the evo. i was just saying the disc offset to the back of the rim is going to be different on the starion so fitting the rim on the evo doesnt tell us much.

 

i saw silo used an evo 6 caliper also.

you can just stick a tap measure through the rim and measure the brake rotor surface to "roughly" the back of the rim on both cars.

 

what im worried about is the fact that the evo uses a drum brake parking brake in the rotor so it may have a larger offset than the SQ but its hard to tell from just a pic.

 

also is that a 2 piston caliper? Im sure it is because of the location of the piston, it would be silly for it to float that way.

distance from the mounting face of the rim to the front face of the starion rotor is 1.66". the rotor is .934" thick. Im guessing the evo rotor is more like 1.125" so assuming they did fit you may need pad spacers made otherwise when you get low on pad you may eject the pistons from the calipers.
