        I don't know about wheel fitment, but the Rx7 caliper piston size is 36.1mm(1.42")

        My wilwood calipers had 1.38" pistons and the balance was close to perfect. The fronts would lock up just before the rear. I did install a bias valve, but after tweaking with it quite a bit, I realized that the best setting was opening it up all the way.

        The piston area of the RX7 calipers is ~5% greater than the wilwood with 1.38 pistons. I don't expect balance to be an issue.

          I'm guessing 15" minimum...
          Yes, 15" minimum and not all 15's will clear! Depending on the inner profile of the wheel and spoke design, some 15" wheels may need a spacer.

                        Alright! This is going quicker than I expected! I think I'll order the material tomorrow when I get in to work. :)

                        Matt, shipping will be $5 for up to 3 sets of brackets. If you order any more I'll have to use the medium flat rate box!

                              Just a reminder, Payment is not due until the brackets are ready to ship (3-4 weeks from now) so if you need some time to come up with the cash, go ahead and sign up!

                                Just a FYI, you will need ~50-52mm from the face of the mounting surface of the wheel outwards to clear the spokes. To put this in perspective, you need about an inch of clearance between your stock brake caliper to the inside of the spoke of your wheel.
