RX-7 4 piston caliper adapting bracket

[Mossman]

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 :)

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.

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?

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

ballpark on the price?

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$.

Aluminum = metal.



Ely, that's weird, didn't have contact. Maybe with rev. 2 it'll hit lol.

SA HEHE you know what i ment. steelyo

do you know the differnce and application? steel to alum?

What do you mean the difference? Aluminum is a metal. Steel is a metal. They are both metals with different properties.

In fact, lead and tin are also metals, maybe these types of material would be cheaper for a big ol' GB.

Yes, much cheaper. They are easier to make too, all you need is a chisel and a blowtorch.

and now that this has been covered we could make a NEW thread discussing metals in off topic.

lol

I am still wondering if the benefit outways the cost of paying an extra ~$70 on top of the parts everytime you have to replace your rotors. Geuss ill have to wait for your results.

has anyone looked into how safe these r if made properly? will there need to be a bias valve and bigger master cylinder in order to rebalance brake proportioning? just posting some concerns because if this kit doesn't workout properly it could end up being very dangerous...please post info that has been proven if u have some...thanks
