Brake caliper conversion complete

Just buttoned evrything up on my caliper swap. Bought 95-99 Talon/Eclipse dual piston calipers and swapped them out, amazing stopping power, huge difference all together. Best swap thus far, Bracket and caliper bolted straight on, minor widening if the line channel but that was cosmetic. Definately worth the swap out for all you turbo guys.

I added the 2 pistons and abs delete, along with Axxis Ulitmates. I have only hard stopped once, and it was a DRAMATIC difference from single pot/oem pads.... Could mostly be the pads tho

Yeah, I'm ready for a much bigger upgrade. Now I just need a much bigger wallet.

Re: Brake caliper conversion complete

I can't find a decent deal on a set. I tried to buy a set from Fat Al Dynoflush, but he had them reserved too high or something, I can't remember.

Re: Brake caliper conversion complete

also they dont need to be from a evo. 90% of the brembos are the same pads and have the same bolt hole spacing
