Range Rover Sport Supercharged brakes on Evoque

Anyone know if this is possible as a simple bolt across application -- they would sure look good and help stopping distances.

Also, would it change the bolt pattern on the hub giving access to much more choice for wheels ?

RE: Range Rover Sport Supercharged brakes on Evoque

If the brakes of a D3 can be made to fit a FL2, when it could work. But I very much doubt it. I full set of callipers,pads & discs for a supercharged RRS would cost over £1000Confused If your after red calipers, eBay say plastic glue on covers which look very real.

RE: Range Rover Sport Supercharged brakes on Evoque

Having owned 2 RRS's, not the supercharged but TDV8 with the same Brembo brakes, the problem wouldn't be fitting the brakes but finding wheels suitable to fit over them. Even on RRS there was only one 19" design and one 20" design from LR that could handle the extra diameter of the caliper dampers without fouling the alloy rims and also handle the 2.8 tonnes weight of the car (not a problem with RRE though)

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

Sounds intresting... and someone has to do it! lol
I think some good chunky brakes would really suit the Evoque.
RRS discs are what? 380mm I think I read, not sure about the caliper clearance, but surely the 20" wheels would be big enough?!!
but as you (OP) said, the wheel bolts would be a fundamental issue.

Ordered: Fuji Dynamic Lux Coupe / style 7 wheels / Privacy glass / adaptive xenons / something else which I've forgotton.
Should be end of April (was March, then April, then end of May/June).

You can fit 380mm discs under a 19" wheel but where you may come unstuck is the master cylinder and also the total piston surface area vs. the new calipers etc. may effect all that fancy programming for terrain control etc
