Evo 4-7 knuckle and brembo brake question

Hi.

Is the knuckles on evo 4-7 the same? And if the brembo brake discs and calipers are the same size ( 320mm front 300 mm rear) and calipers on 5-9? Im thinking of putting on the brembo on a evo 3 and have seen here on this forum thst the evo 4 knuckles fits with a new ball joint. Just unsure on the other knuckles

Evo4-5 are similar.
Evo 6 is different as the balljoint sits in the knuckle rather than the arm.

Evo7 knuckle is different as it has a larger wheel bearing, wider strut mount and the toe link bolts from the bottom.

But the brembo gear is all the same from evo5-9 in terms of calliper, pads and discs.
Brembo kit will fit evo4 knuckles no issues, I had the full set on my evo4 when I had it.

The ball joint has been removed from the arm, turn upside down and now lives in the knuckle like so:

Then bolts into the arm at the end:

I believe the 4-5 is the same, I'll double check that.

I don't run a dust shield and I do circuit work, hasn't caused an issue yet.

No Evo 7 wouldn't match 4-6 although some parts maybe similar. Evo 7-9 parts are all interchangeable.
