Hey Guys,
New to the forum! Im currently looking into upgrading my current brakes on my 1984 E30. It currently has "drum" brakes on it as of now, but im looking into upgrade it to RX7 brakes before doing an engine swap.
Ive spend hours on Google researching, I have only read about people upgrading their front brakes to RX7 FC TURBO / FD brakes, but nothing about their rears? As far as im aware, both RX7 Turbo and FD rear calipers sits 296mm rotors, but im not sure if the VW corrado 280mm would be sufficient for the RX7 FC/FD calipers?
Im just looking to see if it is possible to upgrade rear brakes with using rear RX7 FC/FD calipers with VW corrado 280mm?
EDIT: Looks like the rear requires a bit of work (trailing arm from a 325 etc) before being able to upgrade to anything. The front seems like a bolt on upgrade (if pursing rx7 calipers) most likely convert the rear to stock disk and upgrade the front to rx7. Please correct me if im wrong!
