Default EVO/STi big brake swap. kills TT brakes DEAD

Not sure if this has been discussed. looks like people have been doing if for a while now but I've yet to see any local guys running this setup.

rears look pretty simple:

Rear STi brembo caliper on 300ZX rear rotors. cut off the dust cover, 1mm thicker STi pads are recommended, install brake line and boom, 297mm rears for your 5lug S chassis. as for an e-brake you can use the 300zx setup like usual. you can also use any Brembo equipped GT-R rotors and e-brake assembly.

rears


fronts are:
STi Brembo calipers on EVO rotors, cut/remove shield. but this setup requires a .5" thick bracket to be made. you can order the brackets from TIG Engineering for 290 shipped or make your own. so everything is literally "bolt on." as far as steel braided lines go (unneeded) you can order them for an STi.

It's recommended you use a better master cylinder etc.
