 3000GT VR4 Brake conversion? Just curious if anyone knows where to get the brackets to mount 3000GT VR4 calipers on a 2nd Gen AWD? Looking to get the brackets to mount these calipers, can't seem to find them on fleabay.
Any help? thanks

Re: 3000GT VR4 Brake conversion? I thought these bolt straight up guess not. The only member on here that has them is Javier (hectik)

Re: 3000GT VR4 Brake conversion? Don't think any company actually mass produced any of those brackets. You pretty much gotta make them yourself and they're not too hard to make. Javier bought the whole setup from a former member on here if i remember correctly.

Re: 3000GT VR4 Brake conversion? Oh well, there goes that idea. We found a vendor (who's an ex DSM'er but still a Mitsu dude in a Evo IX) who says he can get a VR4 calipers and rotors but not the brackets. So we got the idea to do the '96 GSX up with a brake upgrade... maybe we can look into the brackets later....

Re: 3000GT VR4 Brake conversion? There is a dude on Tuners named KMV that sells brackets to mount the Evo calipers. You do have to modify the knuckles to bolt them down but those brakes punk the 3kgt ones.

Re: 3000GT VR4 Brake conversion? I went on socalevo and put a willing to buy brakes thread. Within 15 minutes I had a set of all four calipers with pretty new slotted and drilled rotors for $460.

Re: 3000GT VR4 Brake conversion? One of the DSMTuners supporting vendors, Tuners Nation sells the brackets for the 3KGT brakes for $130.
