Aye, they'll be off boarding a week today - dunno if they plan on doing a session at Xcape before hand?

s1abz are you sure mate? I was led to believe that due to the way the Evo set up works that it had to be hydralic! I know this is certainly the case on my RST which used Evo Brembos!

2 pots I have on the rear too, they'd be from an Evo 6/7 though as they've been on the car for around 4years now!
Must admit I wasnt aware of any changes to the Brembos fitted to Evo's over the past few years, but I may well be mistaken.

sorry m8,but 2 pot evo rears do no have facility to run cable handbrake,it miust be hydraulic,and evos do have hydraulic ones as standard.its an easy conversion to do handbrake to be honest.good luck,wul

I am really interested in finding out about these brackets that you have pictured, any info on them would be great.
Also what vehicles were these setups on?

Cheers
Shaun
