When all is said and done, how much is this going to cost to get done. I know the Evo parts can be sourced cheap, but the fabrication is where the serious $$$ are going to be spent, not to mention all the new bearings and seals which will need to be replaced due to the complete tear down of both front and rear spindles.

I'm not trying to sell anything here. I only build/fabricate one off pieces and cars, then I'm off to the next project. I don't enjoy doing things twice no matter what the profit might be.

I'm posting this for the folks researching different options for improved braking. No one that I know of has tried using the rear brakes from the EVO for the reasons you posted. But some people may want to make it happen, this is only a guide of how I am doing things to help others in their quest for improved braking.
