STI/Evo front Brembo caliper
Does anyone know if you can swap the STI or Evo front Brembo caliper for the Z front brembo caliper? The STI/Evo caliper is bigger then the Z and this would allow for some bigger pads.

Yeah no kidding. See if they'd let you test fit them. I'm sure they would, since you're a family friend, and would buy it if they did fit. Plus we all wanna know!

I don't know about the STi, but I thought the Evo rotor was 12.6" compared to our 12.8. Also, I think the Evo is a different type of caliper, at least I think that's what I read. Like, isn't one a floating caliper, and one a fixed? I'm not sure what that means exactly, and which one is better, but I thought I read that somewhere.
