Hey All,

I need your help with a purchase I made. The guy was under the impression that they were Evo Calipers but through looking at various pics on this site they seem different then everyone elses!

I'm trying to purchase brackets but want to make sure I purchase the right ones!

This is a pic of mine

Here is a pic from the Skullworks thread! Notice the differences on the back by the mounting holes.

should have just bought the sentra brembos

ur pic has red X but if you look closely you can see where skullworks "cut" some material off , so ...., im asuming..., that the difference between both calipers would be the material

I guess I should just buy the skull works bracket and modify it?

they don't look large enough to accept a evo rotor., height wise.

Id take some measurements before anything
