['90RPS13]

where'd you go for the mounting bracket? *a

[ALLABOUTDAZ]

has anyone done the evo 8 brakes?? i am loking at the rear set up to match my front red brembos

[SoSideways]

^^ Uh... did you read the thread?

[sean350z]

Well it turns out I was wrong about the Z33 track rotors offset and made brackets that wouldn't work . The Evo calipers will work with the bracket on page 2-3 with Evo rotors. I'm going to sell the calipers and pads b/c I need money so if anyone is interested, pm me.

[ls180sx]

anybody wanna trade me your rear sti calipers for my evo calipers plus some cash?

[SilviaVsSupra]

has anyone done this or know if its the same process on 4lug?

[OptionZero]

um...drill new holes

until then guess I'll be parking in gear like alot of the guys with Z32 rear swaps do that dont swap over the drum brake

take a look on the Jag XK8 supercharged car on the rear and also on the galardo lambo they also have an E-brake caliper.

[racer98]

Thank you for making this thread very good stuff !

[nissanpwrds14]

Nice info.. time to switch to 5 lug.

[georgesal]

the beelder does have to be on top if not you wont ever get all the air out, htanks to gravity

[GreekRPS13]

good shit man looks like you did your research....but incase this was a just a hypothesis looks like it came out good

[gunluvS14]

so, anyone made a bracket to accomondate the extra ebrake caliper yet?

[racer98]

Still wating on some more info, still a very good thread. So my plan for the rear.

1) Z32 Spindel with a nice up grade.

[seth]

anyone know if the bracket will work on an s13? also what are people doing for the master cylinder? I was thinking of going z32 but I don't have abs so I would have a bunch of extra holes.

[drew935]

Answers:
yes
17/16" BMC
Z32MC works fine w/o ABS

[turtle m3th]

I just read this whole thread and i am truely enlightend, we should have a hybrid thread in the tech section because the stuff that people are thinking of is uber!

Okay all you loudmouths, you finally Emailed/PMed and pestered me enough to get off my ass and dig for all my notes on this from 2 years ago, problem is I moved since them and my original specs disapeard in the move, luckily I stummbled across one of the old test brackets I made and remeasured everything and updated the original diagram. Now I need to note here Im not an engineer or in the business to make or sell brake parts, so dont come crying to me if you try to copy a set of these on your own and something falls off your car, Im simply passing along some info on what worked for me







These measurments should be a good stating point, honestly I cant remember if this bracket was the EXACT one that I made that fit the best, luckily these are so easy to make that if you get a metal shop to cut you a dozen legnths of bar stock you should be able to measure/drill 6 sets of these in an afternoon. One more point on these I couldnt realy show in the diagram, when you bolt this bracket to the Brembo caliper you will have to grind down the top edge of the bracket a bit and cut two small notches where you see in the pic, this is to clear a couple ribs cast into the caliper, you will see once you get to it, have a die grinder or bench grinder handy.







Anyways sorry for the late follow up, I sold the S14 last year and have moved onto bigger and better wastes of my money/time







BTW, now that I got you all hot on finding a set of used brembos for under 1K Im going to drop this on you. You can buy Z06 billet 6-piston calipers BRAND NEW FROM GM FOR $200 EACH!!!! and it looks like it has the same bolt spacing as the brembos, haha no Im not going make brackets for these for you guys, but it would be pretty hot to see someone do it

[Inland180]

^^ so the caliper can be "fitted" with a bracket.... what about the rotor? will it fit on out 5 lug bolt pattern?

[240trainee]

Holy shit, $200 a pop, thats incredible.

The Z06? I have no idea how if they fit with this bracket and dont intend to look into it, but no the stock Z06 rotor is a bigger bolt pattern so those wouldnt work anyhow.

I'm thinking this can't be correct...

Thats GARBAGE! lol ... so much for the z06 upgrade!

[cdlong]

redrill the rotors and make a similar bracket. it would be no harder than any other swap listed. the only problem might be the center bore, that would require a lathe. i still don't believe the calipers are that cheap. what about rotors?

the question is, is it worth it?

you right, $189 each several vendors on the Corvette forum sell the whole front/rear setup with rotors and pads for under $1500

Congrats on stepping up to the Vette and thanks for the bracket info... You have helped a lot of people with this...

[arian23]

what rotor would you use with Z06 Calipers? Those things are huge. Way over kill for a 240 but I wouldnt mind having them.

[JohnC]

Hi Krinkov,

I am one of those pestering loudmouths sorry
Thanks Again!!

Perhaps using Cobra rotors? Havent measure but that would be the place to start i guess? *a
