1g I believe

im super pumped on this. i think i might order the calipers soon and what rotors are you planing on using? id like to start to get a list of parts i need together.

 

[jeverts]

OE Evo 8/9 rotors. I put the wheel bearings and seals in last night. I did some measurements off of a stock Evo 8/9 hub and knuckle and right now it looks like im going to need a .07 spacer between the rotor and hub but i am going to get a set of rotors and confirm this. I also checked clearance between the caliper and Evo 8 enkeis and it looks like it will have no problem clearing.

Pretty sure Evo 5-9 rotors won't work with the CTSV calipers, like I said before, it needs a larger diameter rotor to get the right contact patch for the pads. Plus the kit has already been made: click

I'll try to stop! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rofl.gif

Quoting jeverts:




So am I interpreting this picture correctly? The mount spacing of the caliper is identical to a GVR4/1g knuckle spacing?

 

[jeverts]

Yes

Use cobra 13" rotors

I personally wouldn't trust any seller that can't differentiate between "brake kit" and "break kit" on what looks like a company website.

 

[89Patches]

Wasn't saying buy the kit from them, I was just merely pointing out it already had been done.

 

[jeverts]

That is pretty much what I am going off of at this point just not sure what rotors they are using. I'm curious about the cobra rotors now.

 

[iceman69510]

They show spacers, but no brackets, so I am curious if they are bolting directly also. Not the hardest thing in the world to find rotors with specs to fit, but to have them readily and cheaply available is another animal.

 

[jeverts]

I am going to look at Evo 10 rotors. They are 350mm in diameter. It will be a different spacing but nothing trying it can't hurt.

 

[Mdlimy]

I happen to have a pair of these calipers sitting in my room...I like where this is going /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

 

[TurboDSM]

This gives me more reason to replace my calipers on my cts-v and just put the old ones on the galant

 

[89Patches]

They're 100% Cobra rotors. Thing about using Evo X rotors is they will not fit under 17" wheels.

 

[jeverts]

I tried the Evo X rotors out last night and they fit in a evo 8 enkeis. I will have to take a little off the outside (.100 or so) but they will work. It will bring the rotor to 13.6 or so but I will be able to get complete pad contact.

I mean with the caliper on. Well they didn't fit with the Evo X caliper when I tried it. If the CTSV caliper is a bit smaller and the rotor taken down some, you maybe able to squeeze them behind a 17" wheel. Hard to say.
