Evo Vii Rs Brake Swap
 

Saw this on evoempier

This is a VERY easy swap and the parts can be found at your local Kragen/Autozone/Advanced/what ever auto parts store.

The Calipers and Rotors off of the 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT V6 are the EXACT same as the ones off the Evo 7 RS in Japan.

So just swap them out like you would with the Brembos and now you can have 15in rims on your car for rally fun!

BTW the OEM rear Brembos clear 15in rims.

I just don't see the point in giving the car less braking ability, the factory brembos are part of what make this car awesome. To each their own though :) Would be cool if we could get REAL rally-style brakes.

Re: Evo Vii Rs Brake Swap
 

OMG! I have Evo brakes on my car! :hah:

Re: Evo Vii Rs Brake Swap
 

Downgrading ftw? :crapper:

Re: Evo Vii Rs Brake Swap
 

Do you know why the JDM RS comes with crappy brakes from the factory? Because Mitsu assumes all RS models will be heavily modified with a full array of aftermarket parts so they put the cheapest parts on it they can.

Re: Evo Vii Rs Brake Swap
 

Sounds like a good option for drag racers!

More this

Than this.

Re: Evo Vii Rs Brake Swap
 

I'm just saying this is a low cost option for those looking to run 15" wheels and slicks, after all you have a parachute to stop you anyways ;)

Re: Evo Vii Rs Brake Swap
 

I have to agree with v8klla, someone would only do this "downgrade" to save money from having to buy aftermarket baby brakes to fit with their small wheels and slicks.

Pretty cool IMHO.

Re: Evo Vii Rs Brake Swap
 

Why don't you look into why rally cars use the parts they have before throwing smaller brakes and a light bar onto your lowered evo.

Re: Evo Vii Rs Brake Swap
 

This has nothing to do with my car. I was just posting this to show people who might want to run smaller rim size for slicks and a small brake kit is still $1000-$1500 and to do it this way is less the $400.:spin:

Re: Evo Vii Rs Brake Swap
 

Thanks for posting this, I have always liked the idea of a smaller brake kit for my car if I make it a track car in the future.

Re: Evo Vii Rs Brake Swap
 

Yeah, this is solid for those who want to run slicks. Beats the alternatives like really expensive smaller brakes or running Motorcycle drag tires on 17" rims that clear.

Re: Evo Vii Rs Brake Swap
 

This thread just came in good use, I have a buddy who is making a evo 8 a rally car and wants smaller brakes.

Re: Evo Vii Rs Brake Swap
 

you can run evo 4 brakes also. they are the same and are bolt on

Re: Evo Vii Rs Brake Swap
 

We don't drive Subarus, we don't downgrade brakes to fit small wheels because we think we own rally cars. You want to do this go buy an STI, don't do it to a street driven Evo.

Re: Evo Vii Rs Brake Swap
 

I like this, now sell me your Brembos.

Re: Evo Vii Rs Brake Swap
 

the guy that is doing this has an 8 he bought at an auction for cheap and is making it a rally car.

Re: Evo Vii Rs Brake Swap
 

I knew I didn't imagine this thread. Thanks. This brake swap with stock fd wheels = cheap drag setup.
