TF★ - Evo 8/9 Brembo Caliper adaptor bracket - Stainless Steel!

[tougefactory]

Hey guys,

After looking at poor fitting brackets on customers cars, we designed our own bracket that properly centers your caliper on the rotors. Also the bracket is designed so that you don't have to grind down the calipers to fit. The bracket is stainless steel for strength and anti corrosion properties. This kit comes with shortened bolts for the bracket and spindle.

This bracket will fit S13 and S14.

[tougefactory]

what calipers are yall using?

umm....Mitsubishi Evo 8/9 front calipers.

Read the title and desc :)

[tougefactory]

Evo caliper uses stock 240SX brake lines. But you will need to upgrade to the 1-1/16" Z32 brake master cylindar.

We sell the master cylindar that already has the flare fitting built in to fit the 240sx as well.

oops sorry i meant to ask what rotors.

[tougefactory]

Evo 8/9 front rotors

[tougefactory]

Evo Brembo's on our S14!!

[drftnby]

Can the sti calipers be used also? If so I'm down!

[speedgod^s13]

Awesome design. What grade is the hardware that's included, since it wasn't stated.

[sil180sx]

/?any chance you guys make some that fit the evo 10??

[tougefactory]

As if right now these only fit the Evo 8/9 calipers, STI and EVO X do not share the same mounting points.

All the hardware is SAE Grade 8.8

I know what you mean.... :bash:, the trouble I had to go through to make mine fit, then I found out it doesn't center on the rotor!! Grrr.. Then had to mill down the bracket to center it on my rotors.. :bash::bash::bash: So much trouble and I paid more for the brackets. Plus it didn't come with Bolts/washers.


Can the sti calipers be used also? If so I'm down!

Sell your STI calipers and get a set of Evos.. They are much much cheaper than STI calipers.. :)

is this bracket for front and rear? i would be very interested in these, and how much is the Z32 BMC?

[drb930]

is this bracket for front and rear? i would be very interested in these, and how much is the Z32 BMC?

+1 on the price for the BMC, will that BMC work on an S14 with factory ABS?
Also what are you running on the rear?

Thanks,
Dave

The bracket was design for the front only.

Pm's being sent in regards to the Z32 BMC.

Quick update...

The Brackets should be in-stock in 2weeks.

[K_style]

How is stock EVO rotors work with bracket?
I have EVO9 brakes and calipers sits higher so make rotors smaller size that what it should be..
my break pad worn unevenly... out side of pads don't even get used....

and what size of rotor is that ??? bigger than stock EVO's ?

[Memberofthe600hpkaclub]

soon as i get my taxes or my bp check count me in on a set sirs!!

[d1a31]

I am interested in a pair of these, could I please have a price for postage to Adelaide Australia postcode 5089, thanks Chris

[an_orange_s2k]

awesome im definitely picking up a set when i upgrade

[tougefactory]

With our brackets you will need to use any STOCK sized Evo rotor, meaning the pads will wear evenly. You can see in the above picture (in post #19) that the whole pad is touching the rotor.

[mr.li]

wat grade s.s is used??? there seems to very little threaded section, asking because it "looks" like too little material for the bolts. hope u understand wat im talkin bout

you designed these brackets???

really are you sure...

and yes mr. Li you are correct there is too little thread engagement (esp considering it is stainless and not cr/mo steel), there is far less R&D in these parts than TF is letting on, considering several people/companies have brought these to market (and some have even sold quite a few sets and have gotten rave reviews!!!)

Yes, we did design the brackets from scratch. We found few of the brackets that were made didn't center the calipers to the rotors or had fitment issues. Not sure what you're trying to get at but there's only so much you can change on these brackets because of the fitment and mounting points.

We did test the brackets on our cars and have not had any problems.

Thanks!

[SoBay240guy]

are you even going to try and address your potential customers concerns of minimal thread engagement, or the request for material type?

and from scratch would suggest you came up with and executed the idea yourself...but you already admitted this was in response to "poor fitting" brackets on others cars, so we know you had atleast one set of someone else's brackets in your hands before you started "from scratch"

I'm just trying to keep things honest here,

[tougefactory]

Sobay>> Here's a simulation test we did for our brackets before we even tested on the car. We used a chassis weight of 2700lbs, braking force of 1.5G's, which is what most of the cars will see with race compound tires at a race track.

You can see from the stress and displacement test that the minimal thread area you're concerned about does not see much stress, hence we were able to design it that way.

As for the material, unless your car is pulling close to 5G's during braking, our bracket will not distort or deform.

Hi Mate,

Interested in adapters & Z32 BMC... can you confirm if Z32 BMC is with or without ABS, as i have a non-ABS S13 that is aching for some monster brakes.

sent you a PM the other day, still waiting on price inc shipping to Western Australia, post code 6017

Thanks
Nick

[K_style]

Could you applied extra discount if I purchase 2 sets ?

please give me shipped price to 97123

[HYPNOTIK]

I tried to order a set of these from your site but there is no option for APO address. Can you quote me a price for a set shipped to 09613? Thanks.

[sil180sx]

Check your PM's please

[nism014]

Got mine in the mail yesterday. Thanks, I'll have pictures up as soon as I get a chance to test fit them.

probably this week-end.

[R33E8]

What if I used an evo bbk with these adapter bracket? Will it be able to hold the load?

[tougefactory]

What if I used an evo bbk with these adapter bracket? Will it be able to hold the load?

Yes. F1 car will achieve close to 2.5 g's during braking. Unless your car can somehow achieve over 5 g's during braking you'll be fine :)

[hitt1]

Can you PM me shipped to 76119, Fort Worth, TX... Thanks..

You guys should get a new engineer to do your stress analysis. The loading on that bracket is wrong to say the least. Unless somehow you have a caliper loading a bracket outwards on both holes (which doesn't happen in the real world). I think you'll find one of those "notches" is very highly loaded with proper stress applied.

You are also using bargain basement hardware store bolts (Class 8.8, there is no such thing as SAE Grade 8.8, nevermind that SAE ratings don't apply to metric bolts...). I might suggest if you don't know what to use, you at least look at what the factory uses in both cases as a baseline (hint, it's not Class 8.8).

[koukidriver]

I can't find the 1-1/16" Z32 brake master cylinder on TF site?

Got mine installed this weekend, great product.

How are you determining where we defined the constraints?

The deformation is exaggerated in this software, picture is obviously not a good representation of what is actually happening. The holes are stretched to the right in this analysis because we are doing a clockwise rotation force to imitate the actual load of a brake rotor.

We never said SAE 8.8?? We're aware of it. Unfortunately for the size, thread pitch and length we need, 10.9 is not available. We're working on making custom bolts made in the future. Tensile strength is 120,000psi vs 150,000psi. It's not as drastic as make it sound. We did test the brackets for this reason before we sold them.

Thanks

[nism014]

bunch of haters I tell ya...

[Jturbo]

this is a great product,come on people you dont have a f1 car its for 240sx

[b00st]

would these work with cadilac ctsv callipers?

[neil c]

my kit turned up yesterday, cheers guys. tidy piece of kit :)

[D1champ]

Is there something wrong with your online store? Can't pull up any parts.

[roninwon]

anything in the future for the rear calipers

[SoBay240guy]

anything in the future for the rear calipers

As soon as someone creates a demand by coming to market with a kit TF will be right behind them

[tougefactory]

Is there something wrong with your online store? Can't pull up any parts.

Fixed!

Sorry!

[KOME]

Hey TF i had 2 questions for you. Or you guys.

Will the bolts and washers that come with this adapter replace the bolts and washers that come with the EVO calipers? As in, will the original ones no longer be neccessary and will just get tossed?

Its' kind of an obvious answer but i just want to make sure because one of my EVO Brembo calipers is missing both bolts and washers.

Also how much for the adapter and BMC shipped to 85746? For an S13

[HYPNOTIK]

Yes. The only bolts you need come with the kit.

So what kind of wheel fitments will clear the caliper?

I want to run 17x8 +35/38

Any idea if that would clear?

[1quk240]

is this group buy still going on? I need a set!!! shipped to 85303

[tougefactory]

So what kind of wheel fitments will clear the caliper?

A 17x8 +30 could work, but it really depends on the spoke design of the wheel.
