    At $895 for fronts only, I don't expect anyone is going to be trying them anytime soon. Plus there's more and more EVO's hitting the junkyards daily, which means Brembo direct fits are becoming popular.

    As far as I know they're direct fits. I think the only limitation is you need 17" wheels to clear the calipers. Someone had a set for sale here recently.

    ..and if your car isn't a V6, you will need to do the rear disc swap to accomodate the evo brakes

    the rear disk swap has the screw in fitting lines while the evo has the banjo type fitting so the drum has to be converted to disk and then evo brake lines has to be used for the back, im not sure about the front

    me and stewi had this conversation over the phone so maybe he can confirm this

    Be aware though that you need at least a 17" rim, but not many 17" rims are going to fit because it all depends on the offset and the spoke design.

    well this is correct, the 8g rear disc brake, brake line has a male threaded end that goes into the caliper and the EVO uses a banjo fitting. HOWEVER.... after speaking with NAPALM from Club3g and looking at pics of his Brembo swap, the threads are the same in both calipers. Napalm actually just put a copper crush washer on the end of his non-evo rear brake line and screwed it into the EVO caliper and it worked fine. So in terms of the rear lines, there is more than one way to skin a cat... especially since the front lines are the same as our stock ones.
