Hi guys,

Looking at putting the evo 3 calipers and bigger discs on but wondering what other peeps did about the brake hoses?

cheers

Cheers guys, the evo hose is the right thread and length to match up to the metal pipe then?

i wouldnt have needed to ask if the guy i bought the calipers off hadnt just cut the brake pipe 2 inches above the union. what a lazy git :doh: !!

do the calipers bolts fit the evo calipers

i think you have to drill the holes in the calliper to suit the bolts that bolt onto the caliper hanger, and use the clio 172 discs as thye are a different diameter, my son is running these and is quite a cheap upgrade

few of the almera owners run clio 172/182 discs with fto calipers, probs the same as evo 3 ones
