Radial Mount Calipers

Are there any companies that make front spindles for the evo 8/9 that use radial mount calipers? I know there are kits available for the evo that use radial mount calipers with adapter brackets. I know evospec makes billet spindles front and rear. I think for the majority of evo owners it would be a viewed as an unnecessary expense/modification just for brakes and possibly some weight savings. Would something like this allow a possibility of having greater flexibility in brake sizing as well, for dirt/rally, drag, and road course? Being able to change rotor size from bigger to smaller simply by changing stud length and spacer size, without necessarily having to change the caliper itself. In turn allowing greater wheel size options.

I could probably make a reasonable change and do a one off upright for radial mount calipers. So far though there hasnt been enough interest to get started on one.

If you really want something, I could take it as an opportunity to make it for the normal price though would need to know what caliper you planned to get dimensions.

knuckles with integrated radial caliper mounts will give you more stifness on the caliper mounting.. probably better with regards to noise. Having Dallas do a custom one for you might be a good idea..
