    RX7 brakes fitting

    Hi

    Has anyone installed the rx7 brake kit with the TR Motorsports 15x8 et20 wheels?

    Do I need spacers or grinding anything

    I try searching but didn't find anything.

    Thanks

    There's a ton of room behind those. I HIGHLY doubt you'll need any modification.

        I believe I remember one of our threads on RX7 brakes mentioning that a 5mm spacer is needed.

          I'm going to bump into this thread with a similiar question, does anyone have any experience with fitting this brake setup behind 15x7 et20 Racing Dynamics RGP's?

              That's correct. The 15x8 fit with no spacers or grinding.

                Not likely. The deep lip design is not conducive to wide calipers.

                        Added it. Thanks!

                        I'm glad you're happy with the kit Fernando. I like the red calipers :)

                              Didn't see the option for drilled/ slotted rotors on that site. Something I missed?
