EVO X Calipers and Rotor Differences

Just curious if EVO X calipers and rotors will fit on our car. I sadly can't find it, but saw on a thread the rotor is thicker on the EVO X. Are the calipers the same?

No they aren't the same. The X brake system is a bit larger than the one on the VIII-IX.

From what Ive read, the calipers are diff only in the bolt hole mounting leg lengths. The mounting bolts on the X caliper are also larger in diameter.
It sounds like a very doable mod but do your research!
Once you convert you will have to run an 18" wheel w/the proper spoke design
Heres a great thread on the MLR EVO forum
