The fronts I am using e36 286x22 rotors and the rears currently are redrilled stock rotors. But I have an idea for using e46 320 or 323 rear brakes. That will make my bias correct with rx7 calipers up front.

Go re-read what I did or there is another thread talking about this same subject.
Basically it is a spindle adapter for the new hubs to fit.sigpic

I'd buy a pair of front sleeves from you. It makes more sense to just buy m3 hubs for the rears.Last edited by einstein57; 03-20-2013, 12:19 PM.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

So do the sleeves create the offset you need to run the stock calipers? I'm wondering if you could run e30 m3 calipers if you had them sitting around1986 911 Supercharged Frakenstrat/Stripped

I'm sure any competent machine shop could help you if you brought them the measurements.1986 911 Supercharged Frakenstrat/Stripped

Ok. I have no problem making the adapters for people but I do not have the time nor do I think it would be cost effective for me to design and promote a fully bolt on swap kit with brake mounts and everything. I will get the stock to make a few sets if anyone really wants a set pm me. But it will take some fabrication to get a proper brake setup.
You can still do the corrado and rx7 brakes but I cannot find a rotor in five lug that matches. So the rotors would need to be redrilled and bored out which needs to be done anyway.sigpic

What did you to do to make the locking nut work? The 5 lug hub, no matter which one , is deeper than the 4 hole hub.
What I did when I did this was machine the thick washer from the locking nut, and turn a new sleeve extension with washer that slid on from the front. This was thin enough to allow the nut to lock.
I still have the strut setup, which I'm adapting my AP racing Bbk to work with. New bells and caliper brackets are being made up.
