yea there aint much lip there cos theres 6mm xtra on the bells to space
wheels out away from caliper, only cos my wheels aint made for cossy,
wouldnt even fit over standard brakes

shouldnt have any probs with other 17,s, in fact they fit under stretchs
16 bbs , the disc does go back more than that and ive put longer
studs in, had her up to 130 and no wobbles

cozzycol,

Have you actually got those 4pot brembo's off the Evo. If so, phone/email Ian asking him if he can make a fitting kit for them with discs. He might be able to.

I'm sure i've read somewhere that they will fit. I'm off sick at the mo so i'll have a look through some old mags, see what i find. Keep me busy for a while,

i'm bored.......

Those Brembos on RobS' car are not the EVO ones. These are the same calipers you would see on a Peugeot 406 coupe.

The EVO ones are the F40 calipers, much bigger.

All you need is somebody to make you up a bracket and ensure you have suitable clearance with the wheel spokes.(and suitable discs of course)
