Yep, you just need a bolt alittle longer then stock and about 5 washers per bolt

pics please, I need to see these washers. I can get the VR4 rear calipers for dirt cheap and the Evo ones are usually around 250 just for the rear

Dude I know evo rears are $$, I'm pissed right now! my little bro took the camera! as soon as I get it back I will get you a picture of the washers, I did buy the washers from Napa FYI.

VR4 4 piston calipers are way to big for our hub Knuckles, and our CV axles will not fit a 3KGT or VR4 hub knuckle

Ive seen 3000gt vr4 front caliper bolt pattern is the same as Evo one, but IDK about the offset of the rotor. They should be the same, but i cant confirm.

Hres my car with VR4 calipers, but I cant clear the wheel. I need 1/2 inch spacer

huh how is that so...is that 1st or 2nd gen vr4 calipers....i've always seen 2g's that had to use a bracket to make them work even older galant vr4's

as for the caliper bolt pattern..i measured the evo brembo in my room and its about 6.25 inches from center of bolt hole to the other

No its not. It has an adapter bracket. Ive seen the picture of the JDM knuckle which is 160mm/6 1/4''/ with vr4 calipers bolted to it, and the same knuckle with Evo caliper, somewhere on DSMTuners
