Interested in some EVO breaks
 

I am interested in possibly picking up some EVO breaks... good condition!

Re: Interested in some EVO breaks
 

I will clarify for Tim:
He is looking for some Evo 8/9 stock brakes, front and rear, including all mounting hardware, calipers, lines, and possibly rotors and pads if they are in usable condition.

Tim, you're going to have a harder time finding a rear set since a lot of the time people only replace the fronts. EvoMN and EvolutionM would also be great sites to check.

Woot. Thanks mang. Yeah i'm registered on both of those sites I think, I just figured i'd post here right away cause i'm at least somewhat familiar with the crowd. :sex2:

SEX!

Oh also, from our conversation last night, I talked to another guy this morning/later last night about it a little and he has same wheel size as me with 35mm offset and he's putting his in soon, and he's confident that his will fit fine. Also, the rear does require a LITTLE bit of tweaking to make it fit in the rear, and front is direct bolt on, the guy who did them said a washer is perfect for the rear to fit, and you have to bend the dust shield just a bit also in the rear.

Apparently they make a pretty big difference also, according to the 1 guy that I know that has them done, heh. Also I for sure need EVO rotors, so if I can find some in good condition i'll need to buy some.

Thanks for the help Chris!

Apparently it's not a hard conversion for the 00+ Eclipses, I wish it was a little easier for 1G's, I've been looking into to doing it myself. Should make a huge difference since the new Eclipses come with really small BRAKES.

Have fun paying for Evo rotors and pads. ;)

Re: Interested in some EVO breaks
 

Are those in pretty good condition? They look dirty but I mean other than that for having 42k miles would they still be good if I had new pads?

Re: Interested in some EVO breaks
 

Calipers should be just fine after 42k miles. Its common for the '03 caliper paint to fade like that so you'll just need to toss a new coat of caliper paint on (if you care how they look).

Re: Interested in some EVO breaks
 

I assume hes just getting them for the Looks factor? Unless he plans to auto cross the car or what not.. but then buying nicer tires and suspension would come first I think.

Re: Interested in some EVO breaks
 

Yeah it's like 50/50. I don't plan on auto x ever (with this car), but function of better breaks is a plus for me and it seems like something that would be fun and cool to do to the car.

There is basically a limited after market for my car and i'm looking for fun things to do. So far i've done intake, headers, exhaust, and coilovers. (big thanks to the guys that helped with the i/h/e!! <3) and other than getting a tune there isn't much else to be done yet with the 4G GT.

Re: Interested in some EVO breaks
 

How about a manual swap. :)

Brakes not breaks btw. ;)

Woooooooooooow I feel like a moron... sometimes spell check just can't save you I guess.

What does your pig weigh?

Re: Interested in some EVO breaks
 

I'm not sure exactly... 3600-3800 I think.

Re: Interested in some EVO breaks
 

the brakes will help it out and will look better also

Re: Interested in some EVO breaks
 

That caliper isn't faded, they're still shiny. MINE are faded, they're clearly dull but still bright red. Those front calipers were heated to the point the paint started to burn. I've seen pictures of stock Evo 8/9 calipers turning almost black because the paint was burned so bad, simply from heavy braking.

Re: Interested in some EVO breaks
 

Brake related question so i'll just toss it in here, would it be worth doing stainless steel brake lines? The only benefit for me I think would be that i'd never have to worry about replacing the brake line ever... is there any other reason to do it?

Re: Interested in some EVO breaks
 

Yea I have them on my M. They definetely add to pedal stiffness and the braking is more responsive. Same goes for a clutch SS line, versus rubber.

Re: Interested in some EVO breaks
 

SS lines are a good idea as long as you're tearing everything apart already.

Re: Interested in some EVO breaks
 

Or a turbo install :) :)

This guy is selling complete front and rear Evo IX brakes with 3,000 miles for $850 shipped. Thats really not too bad considering they are practically new and the pads/rotors will still be fine.

Re: Interested in some EVO breaks
 

why not look into the TCE Performance brake kits. They use a Wilwood caliper setup and cost between 1100-1400 depending on the size rotor and thickness you want. Then you get something that is BRAN NEW.
