slowquest Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 playing around and found the stock 9's fit over these. VERY little clearance, but it did spin and not scrape... http://www.26liter.us/gallery/albums/userpics/10108/normal_car_pics_012.jpg and this is what the brembo's come on....Evo X http://www.26liter.us/gallery/albums/userpics/10108/normal_car_pics_011.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emagdnim Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 They probably bolt right up to our car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowquest Posted June 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 main concern is that it's not an actuated caliper for the parking brake the way ours is. drum in hat style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey_L Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 You could do a hydraulic e-brake setup. But that is kind of expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shift1313 Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 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?

www.18u Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 (edited) That rear caliper will bolt straight up to a starion rear strut.The problem i think will be finging a rotor to suit. Brembo pic Edited July 1, 2008 by www.18u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shift1313 Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.18u Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shift1313 Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 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.

slowquest Posted July 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 I didn't check the difference there, but I will the next time I yank the wheels on the EVO. I may just go ahead and yank the whole rear brake setup and see how it fits on the starquest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shift1313 Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highly Boosted Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 wow looks like it may be a good way to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shift1313 Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 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.
