I just recieved my Evo 8 brakes (or so i thought) from stikiller.com, after waiting a week, and having my car grounded for more than 2 weeks, i spent a couple hours trying to change my brake pads (Project Mu B-Force), it was my first time changing brakes so it took longer than i expected.

Anyway, once i flushed the pistons with the brake caliper tool, i wasnt able to fit in my brakes... after about an hour of confusion i realized on the box they were noted as CP9A (Evo 5 and Evo 6) brakes...

My question is, can CP9A brakes fit Evo 8's (is it universal, thats why they shipped them to me?), cause if not, i'll have to ask for new ones fit for mine..

Thanks..

 

On the brembo equipped evos discs, pads and calipers are all interchangeable. So there must be some other reason the pads are not fitting.

 

^^NO....it have to be CT9A only pads. CP9A pads will not work for the evo 7 8 9. so please don't say it's interchangeable. and please don't say the brembo caliper is the same. thanks

 

Lets do this the easy way. Do the pads you have look like this



If they do they are the right pad

 

They are interchangable, I was running Padgid Blue pads in my evo6 which are now in my parents evo9, I am now running Project Mu HC+ pads for an evo9 in my evo6.

All the discs, pads and calipers are shared across the whole evo range.

 

really???are you sure....

 

i also recieved cp9a pads i ordered the project mu brand and recieved those and the gc8 pads. i called my vendor and they said the brembos are the same on those models and it did fit with no problems

 

As long as it is the Brembo setup they'll fit.

All interchangable from the V,VI,VII,VIII and assuming IX.

IV use the older 2 pot front setup.

they are the right pads...I used the same Evo6 pad on my Evo7!
