E30 Five Lug Struts, RX7 Brakes.

[brent5631]

Ive got a set of e30 front struts converted with e30 m3 front bearings. I machined a sleeve to convert from the e30 spindle to the m3 spindle. Also for brakes i have a custom mount to incorporate the rx7 brake upgrade using e36 318 brakes. One benefit is that I was able to keep the ABS system fully functional. Overall offset with this setup is 12mm wider track than standard e30.

Struts have mounts for coilovers and m3 sway bar tabs.

Let me know of you have any questions. I ran this setup for a year and 8k miles. Everything was brand new one year ago. Rebuilt calipers, new bearings.

Looking for $400 Shipped OBO. Send me a number or email for more pics.

How much were the housings shortened? Is the M3 sway a must, or can I still run a standard sway? How much brake life left?

Pretty sure all you need is the links and you can run any sway bar.

Nice set up OP, glws

Housings are not shortened. Brakes have about 8k on them and they are ebc greenstuff pads. You can run with or without the m3 links.

I'm interested but I don't know much about the rx7 calipers. I read that they need a line adapter, does this come with it? Also are the aluminum calipers really that much of a weight savings over say e46 330 calipers? When I need to replace pads, do I get e36 318 pads or rx7?
