Cheers Jarrad.
So these hub carriers need abs sensors in them too don't they? If they don't have them is it hard to use the PFL sensors in the FL hub carriers?
Thanks.

yeah you will also need the FL ABS senders, the PFL senders are too short.

Important note for those with prefacelifts.
We went to do the caliper upgrade with welding on a new bracket as I've mentioned before and it turns out we can't do it as the knuckles are cast iron and not forged as we thought they were. Hence you can't weld to them (well there is a very expensive way of doing it but they will by no means be stable or safe for that application).
So it looks like the only way to do the brembo upgrade on a PFL is to get the facelift hubs and hub carriers/knuckes. There is no other way unfortunately...I've explored every possibility.
The other thing to note is that the evo hub is slightly larger than the PFL hub, the FL hubs must be slightly bigger (about 1.5-2mm) because I've not heard of anyone complaining about vibration issues which is what you'd get with that size difference.
So yeah interesting stuff. I do, however, have a super cool/awesome intake pipe now. Pics soon!

So does that mean that i HAVE to use the facelift hubs i have? because they dont look the best.
Can anyone confirm if the PFL and FL hubs are different?

ok cheers, ive got the knuckles but wanted to use my hubs. now i can
When we put the Evo rotors on, we found there was about a 1.5mm-2mm difference in size (rotor housing for the hub was bigger). We then weren't sure if the FL hubs may be a bit bigger because if they're not then you'd get some bad vibration issues as the disc would have play in it.
Unless it's a manufacturing error with these particular discs?

I would ask the CVR4 guys who have fitted evo discs to see if they found a similar problem .Never heard it mentioned before though

doesnt matter coz the hole in the center of the evo disk, matches the vr4 hub-centric ring,
if these didnt match there would be vibrations problems.
but they do so no problems.
im using standard evo disks, and have on both pre and post facelifts, with no fitment issues.

stange, i thought all evo disks are the same dimentions 5-9,
i have a set of e7 disks on the front, and a set of e9 disks for the rear,
and im using evo 5 brembo calipers,
with gen brembo pads on the front, and endless rear pads,
(bit of a pick an mix there, lol... bargain hunter)

Yeah looks like I just have one of those factory lemons...No biggie, it can be fixed by machining it out a little bigger and then making a piece to fit inside it to bring it back down to the right size. Just more pains in the butt! lol

heh, still waiting for the rear discs to turn up from Aus
Well my Brembos finally arrived and my wheels should be here in a week or so.
I am gonna get a brake guy to fit them because i don't have the time/space. What i would like to do it summarise all that needs to be done so i can just tell him.
Can we make a checklist or something similar as a sticky in this thread?
I have Front and Rear callipers with lines and pads and Front discs only (will get back ones later) I would prefer to get new lines but would like to use the old ones and save some dosh. So far as i can tell, the fronts will be fine and just a bolt on job, but the backs need to have the disc shield trimmed just a bit?
BTW, car is a facelift...
