    EK4 brakes on EK1? Go? or No go?

    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.

    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

    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...
