I was surprised they were still on the Mercedes when I got to the junk yard. I've thought about doing the evo rear brembos but they are getting harder and hard to find and like everything else, the price has doubled if not trippled in the last few years for the brakes.

@@mainstreambuilds yeah you scored big time, lucky that wrecker hadn't caught on!

Haha I could do that.

Yep I used all stock brake lines and the length of the lines were perfect. The stock fittings for the factory calipers thread right in with no modification. I believe I had to pull the line from the mounting bracket in the fender well, but that was it.

Sorry man I didn't see your comment until now. I will see if I can find the exact link or a part number and send it over.

@@mainstreambuilds if you don't mind send it over to me as well lol

So I used the precision motorwerks rings. I don't have the exact part number anymore, but the inside diameter is 60.1 and the outside diameter is 70.1. You could probably just snag some off Amazon.

So you should be able to use the brake rotors for the Mercedes S500 and I believe Mercedes R350. You will have to hunt around for the stop tech ones but you should be able to use a factory Mercedes rotors for the swap. From my understanding the 350z ones won't work.

I've been asked this question several times and keep dropping the ball. I need to pull the wheel off and check the offset. These are 18x9s and squared all around (not staggered). I'm running a 225 up front and a 275 in the rear. The wheels came off an evo 8 and were perfect offset. I'm running a spacer on the rears for the over fenders and nothing in the front. I will hit you up on the offset soon.

@@mainstreambuilds Thanks a lot man! Great video too btw! I remmeber seeing this mod on the forums but lots of the links are broken or forgotten about. Nice to see someone bring it back to life, keep it complete and concise!

@@PuFFehWuFFEh thanks man! I appreciate it. If you ever have any questions let me know!

No the back of the ring sits flush with the back of the rotor. The ring has a step that sits right inside the rotor.

@@mainstreambuilds Good to know thanks!

I'm not entirely sure. I think 16s might cut it a little close. My enkeis are 18s and I have plenty of room. I can take a look at it tomorrow and see what kind of spacing I have between the brake and the inside of the wheel. You will use the factory supra lines. The junk yard wanted to charge me an extra 30 bucks just for the Mercedes lines so I took them off and left them. A lot of people will buy the driftmotion stainless braided lines before they do the conversion.

Depending on the offset and design of the face, I fit them under 17" SSR SP1 rims but I had to machine a radius on part of the flange where the face bolts to the barrels (non structural) and space them out 5mm. If you have a one-piece wheel that has spokes that go to the outside lip rather than a few inches inside the lip like most forgies are you might be able to fit the caliper under 16" rims. There is about 15mm from the outside of the caliper of mine to the inside of the barrel so just over 1/2 inch

@@mainstreambuilds Hi, Looking for the same info. Distance from the Caliper to the barrel of the wheel on your 18s?

I would love to do a brake swap and still be able to use my 16"s, but i dont think you can run anything under 17 with these brakes

Not exactly sure why I went with the tires I did at the time. Probably were cheaper haha. I will eventually swap the tires out for the 595s. That way I will have a matching set. As for fitting with factory wheels, I'm not 100% sure. I ditched my factory wheels a loooong time ago. If I can source a factory wheel I will definitely try and bolt it on and see if it will fit. I have had this question a few times now and would love to provide a good answer for you guys.

Asking because in Europe they are considered historical vehicles and to keep it that way it must look stock but you can get away with upgrading brakes but not wheels

I used the Mercedes R350 rotors

@@mainstreambuilds thanks! Keep up your good work man.. i love your channel! 👌👍💪

Any specific year?

I know a lot of guys run the Mitsubishi Evo brakes on the rear. I don't know enough about it to say how easy the install is but that's what I've seen.

I don't recall off the top of my head but I can pull one off and measure it with some calipers and get back to you

@@mainstreambuilds that would be great I had the same question

@@richardmancilla53 yeah I will measure it tomorrow. I forgot to measure it for the last guy that commented. I wanna say it was about 3.30 mm thick but let me double check.

I've actually had this question before and I'm not 100% sure. I sold my factory wheels a looong time ago and wasn't able to check if they would fit with these brakes.

Thanks so much if you found out I be checking you massage once a month to see if you found some answers Thanks

I believe the outer portion (piece with brembo printed on it) is aluminum, and the main bracket that bolts to the knuckle is steel.

@@mainstreambuilds Ok, thank you. Was hoping they aren’t too heavy or heavier than the stock caliper. Pondering doing this upgrade.

@Jim Hall I'm going to go out on a whim and say they may be heavier since they are bigger, but with some components aluminum, it might not be a huge difference. It was one of the best and easiest upgrades I've done.

@@mainstreambuilds Alrighty, thank you. I’d like to do something with the rear as well but I’ll do the front and go from there.

@Jim Hall you bet. I know a lot of guys have run the evo brembo brakes in the rear, but they are getting expensive and hard to find.
