Evo 8 Calipers / Brackets How much dose the Rear Calipers go for ?

[gsxtc1]

what chassis or year of JDM galant knuckle do you need to do this??

[atuca]

@gsxtc1 Its been a while since i looked up the year and model, but at the 1:00 min mark on the video, its the knuckle on the far right, titled "Galant EA5A, EA6A" which I would assume to be the corresponding chassis model.

U fucking rock great video

we need more of these videos on youtube

[Prodigyman007]

Awesome info man. Thanks for the info. Saved me so much timing looking for Part numbers for pins and misc Hardware.

there is a way to not buy jdm knuckles, there is a thing on dsm tuners about it they cnc cut a brakcet

[MrJslide]

DAMN! I've been following this on tuners for a few years, never realized there was a youtube vid for it. Thanks for posting this, I'm beyond sick of writeups.

How much did those "jdm" galant knuckles cost. I think i would rather use the whole new Knuckle option rather than using the brackets and grinding.

[atuca]

I agree, I think the new adapter idea is kinda.. rigged? I understand the use of adapters, but when you can use a "stock"ish knuckle to begin with, I'd much rather go the cleaner route.

However, the reason the adapters are made is quiet clear, these knuckles are hard to get, and not cheap. I paid 400 bucks for them, and 100 shipping.

Finding someone from JDM land to grab them for you is hard as well, it is (as far as any DSMer knows) impossible to import them through any mitsubishi dealer.

[Deathfox11]

did you have a problem with the master cylinder being over worked,,,

[atuca]

I didn't run into any problems with a GSX master cylinder; the gst is smaller though by an 1/8 of an inch. I think it went:

GST: 7/8th inch

GSX: 1 inch

EVO: 1 1/8th inch

Swapping the evo would be ideal, but no one has figured out a way to swap it in yet. Mathematicly; more surface area to move fluid SHOULD yield better results (and better brake feel), but until I swap in some racing pads and really race this setup, I won't know its limits.

Thanks for the video. Will prob need this in the future as dsm brakes are inadequate on the road course.

[xkxk666]

and only the rear brakes, I put

thanks man!! happy hollidays!

[jjrock5]

Great video.

[xkxk666]

would be possible in the same way in 1g?

please help me

[atuca]

different strut setup, sorry. Would need some custom brckets made.

[djdarkmunk]

sweet vid man

[fuzydoo]

Great mod, I did this back in December.

Looks so good, and stops great, no more mashing the pedal while not stopping at 130 mph.

[97GSXsilver]

Ok im finnaly going to do the swap... i just need to know which knuckle i need... or just what year galant i need..

[atuca]

Read my comment note. Go to dsmtuners and follow that brake swap thread. Lots of info, and you can see how I went from "what do I do", to "this is how you do it".

[97GSXsilver]

yah sorry i forgot to do that befor i asked... i wasnt thinking.. but nive vid.. thanks for posting it otherwise i would not know about it...

[toneron]

GOOD WORK - Thanks!

[manning2g09]

nicely done. functional project too!

[97GSXsilver]

Thanks man! i will do that to my gsx!

[screamingdemon]

Damn...whenever I get a GSX this will be one of the first thing done. Besides the obvious maintenance.

[alan1592]
