Rx-7 brakes, anyone still do this?

[Red88]

Hey guys. A few years back I bought a set of calipers off an rx-7 at the junk yard I think for $7.50 each... Anyways, my car will run someday soon and I still kind of have my heart set on running them. Does anyone still sell the retrofit plates and fittings? I don't have access to a machine shop so I'm up the creek a ways

FYI, I believe the pad surface area of rx7 brakes is actually smaller than our pads...

The rx7 "kit" is a huge improvement over stock, and greatly reduces unsprung weight.

Thanks for the link. I contacted him.

Are there measurements online on the size of the two pads?

Not that I know of - I was told this in person by procrastination and he's one of the smartest bastards I know...

I'm saving up for a real BBK. There's nothing quite like spending the value of your car on brakes, now is there? ;)

Did you hear back from him? I haven't heard anything back yet from him to order parts

And that matters why? Area is not a factor in brake force calculations...

To OP. I did it was a great improvement would do again.
