I have been doing some reaserch as to weather or not we can get Brembo calipers in the rear. Brembo said to go throug Mitsubishi and order the EVO's Rear caliper. They (Brembo) could not specifi as to the compatibility saying that it is an exclusive part for Mitsubishi. Dose anyone know if this is a even swop?

lol "weather"... it's whether

BremboG

Dose anyone know if you can put a Mitsubishi EVO’s rear Brembo calipers on a 3rd Gen?

Thats a valid question.......i personally think my rear brakes looks so blah compared to the brembos on the front!

TL Tita

u wanna spend like 3-5 gs just bc the brakes dont match up? hmmm i dont know about that

6SpdTerror

I never said i wanted to spend anything. I jus said that the mismatched brakes look a little off. I doubt the original poster had that in mind either (spending 3-5k on rear brakes).......hes prolly gonna get those evo brakes for free or cheap hence his inquiry.

TL Tita

whatever floats urboat

Brembo said that our front calipers are identical to the ones used in the EVO and G35. The only difference is that the TL did not go with the rear Brembo Calipers. I can get a great deal on used rear Brembo EVO calipers, however; I don’t want to jump on them to find that it will require a lot of modifications. Any ideas, rumors, or has anyone tried it yet?

Buy them. If they don't fit, re-sell them. If it's a great deal, you might come out ahead or at least break even.

Are the rotors the same diameter and thickness? The rear is not vented, I'm sure it could be true but I wouldn't think Brembo would make a high performance brake setup for a non-vented rotor

meh whats the point? for looks?

Shoot2Thrill

Have you figured out how to make a caliper that fits a vented rotor fit a thinner non vented rotor.

BremboG: I merged your two threads together since they are both on the same topic.

I think the rear brakes look cheap compared to the front Brembo's. I wouldn't spend more than a few hundred making them look better. The TL braking system (Brembo) is awesome the way it is. They are the best brakes I've ever had on a 4door sedan.

GoBig

Great statement! One thing to take into consideration, anytime you change caliper and pad sizes, you change the "balance" of the braking. Meaning the pressure within the brakelines remains the same, however, the brake pad to rotor increases (assuming bigger brake pistons). This can cause the rears to lock-up early and not allow the fronts to do their job.

I remember that from playing gran turismo! lol
I think im just going to paint the rear calipers black and call it a day.

mlody

Did you paint them yet??? I am thinking about doing the same - put some black paint to match the front calipers - any pictures anyone?

if you're going for looks, just paint the rear calipers, unless you have the $$ to buy the Brembos.

They were wrong, the G35 calipers are MUCH smaller than ours. Only problem I forsee is matching the caliper with the caliper bracket, which may either need a new one entirely. I swapped G35 brakes into my Altima, then upgraded the front ones to 13" AP Racing's because of the lack of braking from the G35 ones.
