Rear BBK anyone?

looks good sylquebec.
good to see someone had a little faith...
what front brakes are you running?

You could try the R33 GTR Brembos + NP bracket for matching Brembos (although these are standard black), or Porsche 933 turbo calipers, but then you'll need a pair of custom bracket.

To keep a proper brake balance any other matching front BBK you can find on this forum would work.

crap i leave the supra world for a few months and come back to both front and rear BBK setups. SWEET
thanks to the OP and wheover mucked with fitting them after him.
guess i'll be shopping for:
a front bbk.... >.>
2x evo 8/9 rear calipers
2x '05-07 STi rear rotors (+ hub boring)
4x 7m head bolt washers (8x?)
pads/shims/etc....

FWIW you can use any brembo rear caliper from Evo 5-9 but I guess you guys never got Evo 5s and 6s in the states so probably most of them are from 7-9s.
So I know the front brembos won't be "bolt-on" but if a small bracket is made to adapt them, would anyone use them?
The Sti front rotor is a 325mm rotor(12.8) with all the correct measurements, again all that would be needed is to bore out the hub diameter.
The link shows DSM having 130mm ear to ear, and the front EVO brembo is 160mm. Hard to make an adapter bracket with over-lap.
But if the Mkiii is 110mm I def think I could machine a small bracket that you would be able to adapt the front EVO calipers onto the Mkiii spindle.
Plus being 12.8", you can probably get away with running 17s rims. I'd have to confirm offsetting. I know the mkiv 12.7" setup works

couldn't you use a larger rotor than 325mm? I'd reckon those front brembo calipers could be used with up to 355mm surely? they're pretty large.

Could probably use a proportioning valve from an evo then too, for ideal bias, no?
I might have to cave on joining the BBK "club" if the front evo brakes could be fitted with just an adapter plate. Just something I can't resist about retrofitting parts from other cars, especially well engineered parts that are designed to work together.
No sarcasm there, I love this kind of stuff. Good find.

I'd also be interested in some adaptors for the Evo fronts w/ sti rotors. Excellent find and thanks to everyone for the hard work and information!
I would give it a try, since I already have the rears fitted. Would even be happy with a CADD of these, so I could fabricate them myself.

I'm also really interested in this as my rear are install
To answer the member who ask me what i was running front : stock right now, as you can see, i'm still waiting. I was supposed to go with Cobra brake but in many way i would prefer the brembo brake from the EVO.
First, i prefer boring the rotor than running a centering ring on the hub.
Second, cobra only have 2 piston and this is what i have in the rear.
and for last, not a big fan of the cobra letter on the caliper...
Oh and the $200 price for the mustang bracket are way too much...
Stay us informed albert... and thanks for what youre doing to the community.
