whats the difference between these 4 pistons calipers and the stock ones?

A little bit larger pistions but with, A LOT better clamping force.

That's actually not true.

The caliper is lighter, and stiffer.
More responsive, and has more precise control and modulation.
The piston sizes are actually slightly smaller.

The disc diameter is increased so the piston ares has to be reduced to provide optimum brake bias for the EVO.

The larger discs are 2pc. and fully floating.
The 2pc. design reduces unsprung weight.
It also minimizes heat transfer into the wheel bearing.

Everything about the aftermarket Brembo system is an improvement over stock.
When Brembo designs a system for an OEM application like the EVO, they have to take into considerations specific requirments from Mitsubishi as well as the fact that it may be a 19 year old kid in that car, as well as a 75 year old women.

When they design an aftermarket system, it is specifically designed for high performance use.

No one is better equiped to design an aftermarket brake system than the company who provided the OEM design. And since Brembo designed both, you have the confidence to know it was done correctly with every possible consideration for performance, function and safety taken into account.

Gary,

Regarding the big brake kit is there a reason why brembo went with the 4 piston caliper instead of a bigger 6 piston caliper?

This is actually a question I get asked many times a day.

The # of pistons within a caliper has very little to do with the capabilities of the caliper itself. The size of the pistons within the caliper is the main factor.

You can have a four, six or eight piston caliper, that all have the exact amount of piston area, and all three calipers can be used successfully in the same application.

When you say "instead of a bigger 6 piston caliper?" the answer would be that there is no reason to go "bigger".

If you had asked why not the correct 6 piston caliper instead of the correct 4 piston that we choose, then the answer would usually be related to wheel fitment, pad selection, caliper availability, and the many other reasons we always consider when choosing a caliper.

sweet!

once again demonstrating that the "vendors" who sell this stuff truly have no idea what they're selling, but don't have any problem handing out bad information to make a sale.

hey, better to just make up some crap off the top of your head than admit, "gosh, i actually haven't got the slightest idea how these differ from the stock calipers, because i know nothing about these brakes whatsoever!"

welcome to evoM, driven concepts. you'll fit right in.



and gary, thanks for the correction, but i hope you realize you're not going to make many friends around here.

I have compete knowledge of every part I sell here. The person that replied isn't the one that should be on this site posting, which I am sorry for. Any of our current items we have for sale in any of the vendors section I can give you any detailed information on. I do work in the office but was a mechanic for many years prior to working in the office. Any further posts will be given proper information before posting. The person, aka "problem" has been corrected. Thanks. As I side note, I will be covering the evo tuner shootout on behalf of Grassroots Motorsport Magazine, so if anyone from here will be there, come say hi.
