Evo X rear brakes on 8/9

Yes I'm a new but I've been doing a ton of reading and searching on this topic. Ideally it's something I would like to attempt. Not seeing much if any info about it other than its not worth the effort. Some ppl claimed to have done it yet I'm not seeing any explanation as to how.
Ideally I would like to know if the evo X rear rotor and caliper can be fitted to work on the 8/9. I know the caliper bracket and bolt up needs some modifying but is there anything else like hand brake issues etc.

Oh I already know the fronts can work. Thanks folks

One of the better threads for this topic is here: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/mo...evo-8-9-a.html
Even though the topic is mainly the EvOX front caliper the rears were brought up a no. of times

Ok I had actually read that in its entirety before. It doesn't give much information other than what someone did with the rear caliper and the holes. But I'm still wondering on the hand brake and such.

Theres really no significant performance increase in retrofitting the X rear brake IMO. You would never feel it.

Now, the fronts seem to have been proven a solid upgrade

Guess it was more or less for the looks factor.
