Will EVO 9 brakes fit? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Just wondering if Mitsubishi EVO 9 brakes will fit on my BRZ (with new rotors of course)?

You would have to do some modifications. There is a thread on NASIOC about someone who retrofitted them onto a wrx. I'm sure you would need to do something similar.

Here's some useful information for you. I've seen STi brakes retrofitted onto the BRZ/FR-S before and seeing that the evo brakes are within 10mm or less in size I would say they should fit with the proper modifications done.

STI Front calipers 277x143x127MM size calipers 3.6K weight 40/60 MM pistons
caliper mounting bolt spread 180MM rotor size 326MM
EVO Front calipers 286x145x124MM size calipers 3.6K weight 40/60 MM pistons
caliper mounting bolt spread 185MM rotor size 320MM.

Why bother with custom brackets and drilling and shit when there's a completely take-off solution available?

Boggles my fucking mind, I tell you.

Because I found a complete set of EVO 9 calipers for $500 that's why.

The amount of money you'll spend on making it work might exceed the cost of finding and buying STI calipers to begin with.

Just be patient.

And that's what they all say, even the dumbos on NASIOC. Dumb idea to adapt brakes from a different car. A WRX or STI is understandable, but Brownbos from an Evo? That's dumb. I question your intelligence and forethought. You should be able to find a set of gold STI take-offs for near ~$1K.

Yup...

I asked because I read here that the EVO brakes were the same as the WRX STI brakes. Something like they were the same but the bleeder valves needed to be swapped and the same adaptor plates as the STI needed, but otherwise the same.

Do-able but definitely requires some work which may not be suited to the average DIY'er (like myself

). But if you have the confidence and know how, then go for it.

Thanks for the link.

Yeah, that's too much hassle. I'll wait to find some more suitable brakes.
