Fitting and working as a well designed system are two totally different things. You got to take into account front to rear bias, peddle feel, heat dissipation and sure other things I am not familiar with.

The Evo's are not designed for this car. You might get lucky by getting some other car's brake system to fit and work properly on the RX but I kind of doubt it. Or taking a lot of effort to make something work. It was already stated in this thread or somewhere else that the guy on the other forum who has tried using evo brakes is having issue getting it dialed in.

I think worst case scenario for me will be having to add a brake bias adjuster. That's what track days are for....dialing it in.

I was under the assumption that the guy on the other forum got them working.

Yea, the last I had read the fabrication had gone ok but I think Ted said something about problems relating to the operation. I haven't check in to that thread for a couple of months now. I had definitely thought about those though..
