Does anybody on this board have a suggestion (polite!), as to where I might find a U.S. source for replacement disks? Stock Brembos (For my evo 5 GSR).

Two piece would be desirable but not essential.

Cheers!

 

Oh well, had to try.

 

Hey Braf

I haven't looked into Brembo and Evo parst dealers in the U.S. yet. I was considering just ordering from co-ordsport and taking the shipping hit, unless it was completely ridiculous. You may want to take a look at this thread:

https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...&threadid=3064

It has web pages and many links for dealers in Evo parts, some in the U.S. Sorry that I can give only this vague pointer, but hopefully it is a starting point!!

 

Thanks PToast,

I imagine things will improve quickly in this regard when the Evo hits the U.S.A.

 

Yeah, definitely. I mean the only way you could get an Evo in u.s. was to get it on a 'racing only' basis, so the only place to get Evo-specific parts domestically was to be in contact with a larger race or rally team. Hardly a great way of getting parts.

 

check out precision brake company. they work with many international brake manufacturers, maybe they can import u a set. do a search on google. to find their site

 

Thanks for the leads guys. Much appreciated.

The place is starting to feel like home.

 

It has been my home since the first time I heard 276HP, turbo, AWD, under30k, coming to US. That was in the begining of May.

 

braf, my evo V came with mustang cobra rotors. the guy who owned it before me bought them and machined them down a bit. they are very close in size. the cobra rotors will save you a lot of money too. I don't know the details in machining them down, but I hope this helps a bit. for pads, I just picked up some Hawke Blues for the 911 turbo (big red) they fit perfectly and they bite real hard!

 

nopi.com has some brembo discs. call though for sizes /specs bec the evo probably is not on the listings yet.

 

found the info:

Mustang Cobra brake rotors on the front of the car.
They are 4mm thicker (28mm vs. 24mm) and way cheaper
here in the US. You just have to have a shop machine
down the OD to 320mm from 330mm.

don't know about the rear disks. hope that helps!

 

Any chance I could get a picture of the rotors and pads? This seems too good to be true!

 

email?
