EVo/STi brake conversion?!?!

[mechavore884]

I was asking around and I heard rumor that in the rear (95) 240sx u can use evo or sti brakes....i was wondering what you would do to get this to work?!?

[ALEXTHESUS*PECT]

search as it has been done and is detailed on this board!

3mm spacer between the bracket and the caliper is all you need...

That's only for the rears and there is no spacer between the bracket and caliper. That's wrong info, there is a 3 mm spacer between the caliper and mounting bracket and the rotor just bolts on. You need to fab up a custom bracket to mounth the fronts, there are pictures in a thread about this with the bracket. Also if you want an e-brake you need to run Z32 brembo blanks and the Z32 e-brake assembly.

Also you can use STi calipers and Evo rotors unless you get the newer STi rotors that use the 5x114.3 lug pattern.

No... Reread what I posted... You have to ADD a 3mm spacer to correct the offset for the rotor...

The fronts require a custom bracket like this...

close thread?

i heard apparently there's supposed to be offsetting issues?!?....but thats still not a definite?

[waynehead05]

^ did you read all the replies?

[mechavore884]

so NikeBoy.....Would you recommend running Z32 in the front and the EVO/Sti in the rear?

[eastondle]

evo fronts will bolt up- evo rears will not - use sti rears with washer/spacer - use z32 rotors for the rears and evo for the front ... now you're good to go. this will set to almost factory specs. I will post pics when i'm done.

ALL THE INFO IS IN THE THREAD! Search and then read!

but just so this thread will die already,

Here is what will work.
Front:
STI caliper + bracket and evo rotor.
Rear:
Option 1:
STI rear caliper + evo rear rotor with 3mm washer - no parking brake
Option 2:
STI rear caliper + Z32 rear rotor NO washers needed - can use z32 parking brake assembly.

I'm sure that would work fine but I'd just get Z32 rears and save a little money...

Functionally, I don't think many of us need Brembos all around unless you are doing some serious track time...

[TriniGT]

If you want brembos file down the Nissan logo and round the caliper and then paint it and throw a brembo sticker on it sheesh.

You just said the exact opposite thing in the same sentence. Whether it's between the bracket and caliper or between the caliper and bracket, there IS a spacer required. Learn to proofread.
