Message false comment. However, I'm glad you're now taking responsibility to clarify/correct your own words.

Based on the elaborate research I did before buying the parts needed to facilitate my brake swap, and prior experience with the install of this particular brake setup (EVO 8/9 calipers and rotors), I have come to the conclusion that the same modification to the spindle is required. However, depending on the bracket (brand/version), you may need to modify the back of the caliper as well. The brackets that I am referring to specifically are the Touge Factory, Mad Parts, and Skullworks since they all share the same common design. What specific brackets are you using in your argument?

Again, regardless of your intended point, you were/are still incorrect. You specifically stated that this particular setup (EVO 8/9 calipers & rotors) requires no drilling or modification to the spindle.

optional title

The only thing you mention in relationship to the Z33 Brembos, was their size in comparison to the EVO's. You made no mention of the M14 threading until after I corrected you. Since then, you've continued to change gears and back pedal.

Any and all discussion about the threading of the Z33 Brembo caliper is completely off topic and quite frankly irrelevant. Although I expanded upon what you were attempting to reference in your previous post, I was not trying to make it a key point of discussion.

I assure you, I'm not only calm but greatly amused. My intention was not to attack you, but to correct your claims with the truth. I would hate for others to try and replicate this EVO brake setup, under the guise of your false statement of fact, and come to find that modification of the spindle is in fact required. Although this modification isn't as serious as having to re-drill the caliper mounting holes, it is still a modification none the less. Again, I'm not trying to attack you or pick a fight, I am merely sharing my actual knowledge on this topic and clarify misconceptions that you and others might have.
