EK4 brakes on EK1? Go? or No go?

[nd55]

Hey,

anybody got any advice on fitting EK4 rotors and calipers to an EK1.

I know the axles are different but not sure about the steering knuckle.

Yes, I've searched but it's late I'm tired and 'brakes' occurs in every second thread.

Nick.

is urs a sedan?
cause im pretty sure i read that the brakes on the sedan and ek4 were the same

later model ek1s i think its 98+ model (not 100% sure of the date, but my friend's 2000 model certainly is) have the same caliper and rotor. THey also use identical pads. So i don't think you should have much trouble changing them over

Yes, thats right. Even the brake pad part numbers are the same front and rear.

that isnt excluding the 99- 00 model though is it? mine is gli and i have front/rear disc brakes?.

[turtleEK1]

all EK1's have EK4 brakes at front... and if they have rear discs, they are also EK4 brakes... just the Cxi i think has drums at rear...

[SLOWEGG]

Not all, earlier cxi came with smaller brakes.
