It's time to take out the beauty, the Evolution II twin-port caliper. Our star of the day ^.^
clearly seen y it's call twin-port, coz it had 2 pod for pushing the brake pad onto the rotor. (i haven taken the measurement of the port yet, will update later)
the brake pad comparison between my old pad (above) and the twin port pad (below)
fitting the twin port on to the rotor bolt on the knuckle. it fits the rotor, since the rotor is 35mm smaller than the evo rotor, only 95% of the pad is contacting the rotor surface. So a little tweak had to made to the pad later.
fitting my 14" watanabe RS rims see if the caliper clear-ed the rim's edge. And surprisingly it does ^.^ which means i didn't need to buy new sets of 15" just for the front (plus, 14" tyre were a lot cheaper :P)
the caliper clear the rims only by mm(s) 
But 'deng' something that we had over look while looking up rotors... the rotor's off-sets was so close to the knuckle which making fabricating the bracket a "pain in the a**" *.* darn.... and since i was going on a trip oversea, so after two days of brain-storming, we settle with fabricating a new and (it's going to be a HUGE bracket) give them all the time of the week to make it happend ;)
so i'll be off for the week and hopefully will see my twin port sitting nicely when i come back oversea :D~ till then.
