Title: rx7 fc rear brakes
Post by: billybobbooth on April 02, 2014, 11:26:39 AM
Finally got round to doing something on the rears.
Im looking at going for bigger discs and brakes.
Questions new brackets ect arnt a problem can get these made.
Stick with stock calipers on bigger disc?
Put fd calipers?
Put on rx8 caliper and discs on?
Crap setup and find bigger single handbrake caliper and big discs?
I dont really want to mess the brake ballance up to much but im running 350mm on front with brembo 4 pots so back looks crap as is.
My main idea was rx8 calipers and discs as there 308 but have found a set of 320mm discs that fit the rx8 caliper.
Would love to go 2 pot but no one makes 2 pots with handbrake built in except for old cars like 75 but not sure how easy that would be.

Well all started when I got some free 4 pot radial front calipers for free so thought I would use them, next came was whats the biggest brakes that will fit under my 18 inch wheels now the backs look a bit small compared to the test front hub at my brother in laws work. So want to do something with the back as looks like its got drums on the back lol
