Hi Chris, I can only speak for the JDM models, it resets the mileage. In fact the picture i posted came from a jdm VII that was just imported here. One of our lead Evo shops told my friend not to buy it as the true mileage was "hidden" by the new cluster.

That is a big caliper. 6-pot front setup is probably around $2700.

What's the price for the full Endless 6-pot front/4-pot rear conversion with the slotted 2-piece rotors and SS lines? I am interested.

Anyone have a ballpark on what our stock brake setup would sell for (to offset purchasing the Endless set)?

Supposedly (because I didn't talk to them personally) AP Racing does not have a fitment for the Evo VIII (rotors). They do have the kit, but if I am going to upgrade, I am going to do all four corners and not just the fronts. I know the fronts do the work, but I want to balance it a little bit (6/4 f/r vs 6/2 f/r piston count). I am a BIG fan of AP Racing, but I doubt a full kit would be cheap...

If I had BIG coin, I would find a way to bolt those Porsche PCCBs to some hats with the Evo's bolt pattern... SICK.

Endless has a bunch of different kits out thee for the evo, from a simple 6 piston caliper upgrade, to a full 6 piston front, 4 piston rear racing setup (same caliper as used on all the JGTC cars they sponsor). Our new site is going up this weekend, so have a look there...the Endless kits are on there.

I'll get the Project Mu prices today 0- they are similarly priced to Endles (ie alot)

Finally!

I mean, not that it's bad or anything, but the site has needed a serious update/overhaul for awhile now...

Those Endless calipers look sweet btw. What comparable brake setups are there for lesser price? Like AP, Stoptech, or any of those companies?

Those are pretty but,

Unless you track your car HEAVILY, it is debatable as to the need for upgraded calipers. Our rotors don't dissapate heat quickly enough due to a ****ty vane design. The metal is also more porous... leading to easier formation of thickness variations... (and the OEM pads suck).

Jemm's right. Our stock setup is excellent. If anything, swap out the pads and rotors. Brembo, AP Racing, Project Mu make rotors. I know I am leaving someone out.

To address chris's question above, our stock brake setup is very similar to those on the Track Model 350Z. I've seen those sets go for $2500. I think that is a STEAL for a 4-wheel setup. Front brake set, I think fair value would be $1300 or so.

If I could even get $2,000 for my stock brakes (all 4 corners), I'd have plenty to cover an upgrade to the Endless 6/4 set.
