I believe the STI, Evo and the G's brembos are all the same 'Lotus' model. You can't interchange them (you could but it wouldn't be worth the trouble) however because the bias is set up differently in each my each manufacturer.

 

the evo brakes are different, a friend of mine has an evo and he has red 6-----thats 6 piston fronts, his rears are the same as ours.

having sig issues at the moment.

 

I stand corrected. There was a discussion about this on my350z.com and the consensus was that they were the same but the bias would be off. I guess they were wrong.

 

The calipers are all based on the Lotus caliper, but that doesn't make them identical. Externally, the Evo and Sti calipers have the brake fluid routed through an external line, while the G35/350z calipers have the fluid routed internally. The pistons on the G35/350z are 38/44 mm, while on the Evo/Sti I think they were 40/46 mm. Finally, the G35/350z mounting bolts are 10cm apart, while on the Evo and maybe Sti they are about 12.5 cm apart. It is this last point that makes it very very difficult to even get the Evo/Sti caliper mounted on a G35.

I have some red Brembo Lotus calipers on my car, which I was told came off an Evo. But externally, it looks more like a G35/350z caliper with the internal brake fluid routing. And the mounting bolts were 10 cm apart. Otherwise, I would not be able to even mount it onto my car. I'm not sure of the piston sizes, but looking at pics of stock G35 brembo pistons, they look the same. I still have the same pedal effort/travel, just much much reduced fade now. I'm using stock 350z track/G35 6mt brake pads.

 

ny friends evo brakes look just like the brembo gran turismo bbk, about 2 inches longer than ours.

having sig issues at the moment.

 

so which brembos are better? lol.
