hey guys, i thought i should probably update you. its a bit early in the project but i'd hate you guys to waste money.

Unique have my car at the moment (well as usual) and apart from changing my suspension they are doing a brake upgrade kit. what is it?
well it is an adapter so you can upgrade your rotors and use the stock callipers.

I have done hundreds of km's of driving exercising my brakes and honestly there is no need for larger callipers. using larger rotors with RB74 pads will provide all the stoping (And head transfer) you need to get the car to do what it should be doing.

They have already completed several of these for other cars so the hard work is pretty much done its simply sizing up an adaptor.

GR's: you will need to upgrade to EVO/VR4/FTO callipers on the front as the adapter is being built around the MIVEC setup.

got stock ones on at the moment, i'm not sure what size they built the templates for as its all off at a brake specailist getting measured and built.

I wasn't there when they did my car as i'm not 100% sure what they did.

btw guys just a little bit of trivia did you know that our setup is the same as EVO4/5 ....

i am guessing but i think you would be using the 294 mm diameter rotors from the EVO IV GSR not the 320 mm diameter rotors from the EVO V GSR
