Hey my buddy took off his evo front brembo brakes..... would anyone know if they would fit out 8s....... if they do i would buy these off of him and put those bad boys on

 

i wondered that with thier rear caliper setup, im buyin a Gran Turismo upgrade from brembo and thats only for the front. i wondered if i could yabnk the rears off the evo and get some rotors and be done with it.....its important that the rotor sizes match as close as possible. a caliper off a 14 inch rotor of an M3 wont fit on a 12.7 inch rx8 rotor.....


I have the math results...
Front rotor RX8=12.7 inch (6 speed and auto with sport package and above...)
Rear rotor RX8=11.9 inch

Front rotor EVO IX=12.6 inch
Rear rotor EVO IX= 11.8 inch

Granted, these are figures from the 2006 evo IX which may differ from the VIII. check your boy's diameter....

In conclusion, the rx8's rotors may be about .1 inches larger but the calipers will probably fit. the only problem is mounting arrangement of the calipers themselves....i will look into rear evo conversions and rotor upgrades shortly...

 

sweet man thanks for the info .....that sounds pretty close though but i also know brembo is pretty universal i know i would have to flip the breaks around,hes getting project u brakes so red brembo would look mighty fine in the front
