Question Help fitting Evo X rear caliper to 8/9

Does anybody have any documentation on how to fit the evo X rear caliper and rotor to the 8/9? I have searched everywhere but have not been able to see anything other than it being "inconvenient" to find a solution for the rotor hat difference.

Can someone please help a brother out on this I have a set and am currently trying to work a solution but some guidance would be appreciated.

Honestly as an opportunity to do something different and possibly expand the braking envelope with the larger rear rotor. I have the full set so i wanted to try to fit the whole kit.

first off. dont think thats possible! them 2 rotors have different ET. and will not fit the handbrake.
and the rear disc is not THAT much bigger it will make difference.. thats why nobody cares doing it!

i have 300mm rear disc and 370mm front disc on mine with 8pod calipers rear and front.. THAT make difference.. barely have enough grip on 375 R888

Thank you for that I believe that it can be a nonplus to attempt this and I do see the same issue with the rear handbrake drum as you described. I have been looking for alternatives to see what can be used in its place.

I think someone did this with Brembos from the Cayenne recently. You might have to search around to find it. Not sure what they did about the handbrake.

It kinda seems like after spending all the time doing this it won't be that noticeable in the end but good luck if you decide to do it and you might as well take some pics and post them up
