RX-7 4 piston caliper adapting bracket

Just popping back in here....Still down for a set when it's all said and done. Can't wait for pics!!

Call your local machine shops. Most here (hick fucking redneck town) won't do it at all, a couple quoted me $20, one quoted me $250. Machinists are all on crack here, from what I can tell.

what he said. call around, its not a very hard process and shouldn't take long. so i would say that it should be less then 70$.

ballpark on the price?

a shop would have to do this, as you need a level surface on the rotor for obvious reasons.

Just wondering if anyone would actually care to comment if this upgrade has made a worthwile difference in their braking preformance. Also can the corrado rotors be bored out by yourself or would a shop have to do them?

wanna measure the spacing of the calipers from the strut housings when you get the kit bolted together? Im trying to determine if this "kit" will work with my wheels.

Thanks in advance!

will do.

if everything goes to schedule, i should have the first piece made for mock up on Friday.

I'd be in for a set for 100% positive. I already have some corrado rotors bored out, and a set of wilwood 4 piston calipers. I'd be interested in doing braking tests with the wilwoods as scientifically as I can, getting similar compound pads for the rx7 calipers, taking the wilwoods off for powdercoating and testing the rx7 caliper setup. I already have the calipers, just need adapters :)

Spaten is a Munich bier, Schlitz is a 50's premium American bier that's junk these days.

Kowalski, I'm in for a set...

Lee, I switched from Spaten to Schlitz, and the savings are going to fund a set of big(ger) brakes for my 2002...

I am probably for another generation :loco:. But what does "from Spaten to Schlitz" mean?

If someone would be kind enough to send me a CORRECT drawing for the brackets I will happily make a set for myself and whomever else wants one.

This is a community, and modding my e30 is a hobby, not a buisness, I'm not out to make profit. I appreciate your work for the community and you seem to have the best prices on big brake kits for the e30's and I personally have never heard any bad reviews of your stuff. You of all people know that once you square up the stock and program the cut, CNC is a relativly fast process.

I have already used this machinest to make adaptor bushings for my motorcycle to fit a new shock and happily led a GB for them on FZRarchives, we got a way more complex piece done from 304ss for roughly $55 shipped.

BTW, WTF would you anodise stainless....

i did not say it would be out of stainless for sure. i said t304 or a similar quality material. If you want to start a group buy do it in another thread.

as well, there is multiple factors in the pricing. its 70$ shipped for 10 orders of 2, or a full set, not 55$ each. if we get more, obviously the price will go down, because the cost goes down.

Buy a set of VW corrado rotors machine 1mm out of the bore, mount them up, buy the rx-7 calipers and measure. It's not very hard at all.

[e21pilot]

Wow. Please let me know where you get such rate. $40/hour barely pays for the technicians. What about the building, the machines, the secretary. What about the set-up time to do at least one set? Was there some time spent before even bring the blueprints to the shop?

Dear e21 pilot, maybe it's time you do your own brackets to realize how much is your own time worth...

Damn. Make 2 millions sets and you'll pay $1 each. Make 10 sets and you'll pay $70...
