Range Rover Sport Supercharged brakes on Evoque - Lone Rangerover - 01-08-2012 03:30am
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 ?

No one has contemplated doing this ? Anyone ?
Or am I the only crazy one
?

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 £1000
If your after red calipers, eBay say plastic glue on covers which look very real.

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)

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.

Are the brakes on the Evoque the same as that on a Freelander 2 then.......?

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
