          Got mine. I really like the rotors. I forgot how damn heavy rotors are. Lol. Sad to think I might be going 5lug soon.

            So anyone knows what brake lines should be used with the RX7 calipers or is there a specific adapter. Come on someone has to know.

                    I have the kit, pads, calipers, and spacers. All I need is the brake line adapter; which no one seems to have nailed down to a specific part number and where it's to be obtained. Any references to a "junkyard part off an old volvo" have no meaning to mean.

                    I'll mock it up, but it may be a bit. I'll share what I used for an adapter and post it up when I get it done.

                            Hey guys so I was looking up this RX7 brake mod back when I had money and this is what I found for all you guys that need adapters for the lines.



                            This should help you guys out a bit he has all the part numbers you need and everything. Please let me know how this works out when I roll into some money I wanna do this.

                            (Tchao just noticed your in this thread too ha good build love it. Where in AZ do you live?)

                              I agree. Tchao did a great job on his setup. That brake line solution is a bit expensive though. we really need to find an off the shelf fitting that will adapt the inverted flare of the mazda caliper to the bmw flare.

                                Received my machined rotors, thanks again for great price and good service!

                                Can't wait to see these behind my SSR's with the Wilwoods.
