Would an E8 front brembo/disk fit an E5?
Would an E5 6pot AP fit on an E8?


Are the rotor sizes thesame on the cars?


Planning a trade /swap but goota check if they will fit.
Is there a part number on the AP calipers I can check 'cos the seller has no idea but can bring the whole car down to let me have a look.

Cheers

ALL of the BREMBO equipped cars use the same caliper, pad, disc, etc......................................evo5-8.5.................

as for the AP's if its already on the 5 then you will have no issues with fitting to an 8..............however, if you are going the other way the 7/8 kit is nominally larger and causes clearance issues with the std 5/6 wheels.............

E5 APs to E8

Thanks heaps just what i needed to know, No probs cos the E5 is using wider offset rims.

Also wil the E5 AP brackets fit? or must I get new ones?

Thanks again!

E5 APs on E8

Has he?
Sorry I will take it that they are identical then
I was just worried sincethe 5 and 8 are on diff platforms that something might be diff.

Apologies

I'll sumarise for you then If you're saying you have an VIII with Brembos and a V with APs and you want to know if you can swap the brakes the answer is yes You won't need any new mounting brackets.

E5? APs on E8

Ok tried fitting the AP's and hit a few problems

There is no clearance between the rotor and the lower arm/knuckle on hard cornering.

Are the mounting bells for the E5 diff frm the E7/8? i.e the rotors currently sit too far in so that there is less then stock clearance with the knuckle.

Checking theAP website it list the
E4/5/6 as using
CP5570 6piston Kit with CP3580-2898/9RDM (330x28 discs)

E7/8 uses
CP5555 6piston Kit with CP3581-769617G8M (332x32 discs)

So I am guessing that the mounting bells are diff ie in offset fromthe E4/5/6 to the E7/8

Anybody know if I get an E7/8 mounting bell with a 28mm rotor width to fit AP 6 pots will it solve my probs?

Cheers
