all info on rx-7 calipers+corrado brakes

[e30polak]

i'm really interested in doing this conversion cuz i can get the parts cheap, but i wanted to know the specs on the calipers and rotors, to see if they r that much better. plus i wanted to know what was involved in the install, what needs to be modified and what not??? thanks

You will need a bracket adapter. Tomek (Axxe), when he finally gets off his dirty Polak ass, is working on setting up a manufacture of these (prototype in the works). I've got dibs on a set for sure.

[SchnellerVert]

How much are they gonna be?

I Want Some Too!

Why??? With a bit of additional cooling for the front rotors (brake ducts) and appropriate pads the OE setup is very well balanced and more than enough, even for full-up race E30's.

Dude, you're talking sensibly - that won't cut it with most folks 'round here. . . :roll:

I developed the setup because I was tired of burning through a set of front pads in a weekend, and I wanted the pedal to feel the same lap after lap.

I find it funny that you kids on this board can do M/S50 swaps, turbos, sticky tires, suspension, etc, but when someone wants to upgrade the brakes on an E30, the whole "good pads and fluid are all you need" bullshit comes out.

[Axxe]

Why not get 4 piston calipers and 280mm rotors for marginally more than rebuilding stock? I dunno guys, but with the "right shit" the brakes were still cooking on a very brake intensive track when I was turning the screws. Yes I had cooling, yes I had proper fluid, and yes I had proper pads.

Expect the RX-7 mounting brackets within the next few weeks.

more info? Im interested in the alternative setup.

[Axxe]

Expect a full writeup as soon as the brackets are finished (working on protos now, need to machine up the final pieces out of 304 stainless)

[Mr Deagle]

why stainless?

[Axxe]

Why not?

[Mot]

killer, looking forward to the writeup.

[e30polak]

TOMEK rocks!!!! :bow:

[Mr Deagle]

Why not?

i would like to see some pics of said braket
