Custom BBK using Project Mu parts and EvoX brembo calipers
 

This weekend I went down to my friends shop in Tampa to have some mods done. The biggest one was a full custom BBK. I will be posting a full writeup on my site soon but for now here are some preview pics.

PMU teal on Brembos? This is almost blasphemy!

In for more info and the writeup!

I got approval from PMU, heck they suggested it.

Its beautiful! This is the same set-up I was gonna go for.

What differences are there between the STI and EvoX Brembos?

The caliper is essentially the same. The back part with mounts is spaced slightly different hence why it does not line up and bolt on like the STI ones do.

Here is the full article on the process.

http://www.jadecrew.com/stop-like-right-now/

Same pad shape. Same pistons. Different thickness pads/rotors. Different mounting ears/points/pickups. Possibly an external fluid crossover, but I forget. Bleeders are mounted in the correct position as the Evo Brembo caliper is mounted in the leading position rather than the trailing position.

There's a thread on NABISCO about using Evo calipers. Possibly one on RS25.com as well.

If you search up for the FATLACE FR-S, they did this color scheme very early on last summer and everyone seems to have liked it so far.

Looks good in this color! I'd do it. Especially since you said you do have some PMU parts on.

Big thing is that the mounts on the caliper don't line up with the holes in the upright. Notice how the article says it took a grinder, welding, and custom metal fabrication... no thanks. Do you really want to cut and weld something critical like the brake caliper or iron suspension upright?

Much, much better idea to just deal with swapping the bleeders on sti calipers.

I have a picture of the two next to each other around somewhere.

Like I said, I would not recommend anyone else do it. Just get the STI calipers and swap the bleeders. Now the work done on my car is 100% safe, all done properly. Also it is not that far off so there was nothing major just a pain in the ass.

Looks good but the color probably wont last if you track them. In the evo world we used to call them brownbo's... the super hardcore track cars had blackbo's after a couple seasons. That was a super easy way to tell if a car had been tracked hard or not.

Did you re-drill the rotor to 5X100 or you order them?

thx

I ordered 2004 STI Rotors, no drilling needed.

Lots of work but end result is superb!

Thank you!!
sounds cool. how about the rear rotor?
2004 rear sti rotor can fit with no problem right?
I just order a set of 08 sti caliper front and rear and thinking to get rotors.

Yes 2004 sti fit perfect.

2004 STI *REAR* rotor? No. And anyone who says they used it are lying. The hat offset is completely different from the 2008+ shape used on our rear end.

At least for STI Brembos..which people might think you used if they scan over the posts.

We ordered a 2004 pmu rear rotor. Worked perfectly.

I guess because we did custom with the EVOX calipers. I ordered a 12.4 Project Mu Club Racer Brake Slotted Rotors Rear from a 04 STI. At least that is what I remember.

My buddy said that the 08 is the direct fit for the STI calipers.

That would be true. 08 rotor re-drilled will work for any rear STI Brembo caliper, 04-07 or 08+, as long as the caliper is located properly (with a bracket in the case of 04-07).

Thank you.

So I just got 08 sti caliper front and rear. For the front I can just use 04 sti rotor. For the rear I will have to use 08+ and re-drill them correct? or just get DBA4000...:lol:

Correct.

thank you!

I cant wait to get my calipers. The seller might ship them out today.

And I am still struggling on which color Im gonna to powdercoat them.

With a white car you can do any color you want, really. Yellow calipers with black wheels would drop panties.

I m thinking to paint either red or project mu blue with project mu rotor, hah.

Mike got me hooked on PMU pads but I absolutely hate their horrid color.
It's very close to this pile which my mom owned 20 years ago.
