humm yes your right on the discs, did not think of that. what about tha calipers? obviously a disc would have to be sourced to suit.
I see on the net many brembo 4 pot rear converstions, are these the same calipers as the fronts or smaller??

MOVIT brakes are superb...I have a front set on my car and have yet to cause them any problems on the track, fade free braking lap after lap after lap....
4 pot monoblock calipers running 343mm 2 piece disks...These fit under 17inch wheels and perform superbly....

Great stuff too... Probably the best on this side of the pond...
To be honest, 95% of Evo owners have no business going passed Ferodo DS2500 pads/good lines/and only a decent fluid though.
ogvw has a setup that fills in the mid range between my list and professional cars...

Ok Guys as I have just read nearly the thread to find out weather the wilwoods are any good or not and I have not been able to.
My Question is the 6 pot conversion kit with the 355 mm rotors on the wilwood range an upgrade on the standard Evo 9 ?
If so how much improvement?
and were does the Alcon setup fall in here. ?
What sort of dollars would you consider worth spending to upgrade to the full 6 pot kit?

Anyone have experience with the Racing Brake one piece rotors? Needing a track/autocross/street setup. Already the stock setup is pulsating when I brake. Can't believe all the great reviews of the stock setup in mags as I am pretty unimpressed with the stock setup.
