if you custom make your own brackets, its not too difficult to adapt 4-piston RX7 calipers & some 11" rotors to your car. I have the parts, but i'm waiting for my buddy to go home and cut me some brackets for the calipers. I'll see how it works out..hopefully it'll fit ok.

so far i've invested 80 dollars on brand new 11" rotors & two rx7 calis....i wouldn't say thats a waste of money

i would. I could spend 80 and get 4 good pads for the oem calipers, and id have a working brake system, and you'd have a box of parts.

:p

Am I missing something here? Are you just assuming Gro's project won't work or do you have experiance with this?

you might be able to do that and have a working braking system, but when gro is done with his he will be able to stop better than you, hands down

I already bought some performance pads.....the brakes still aren't performing to my satisfaction. I even got new front calipers and they still suck.

Hopefully these 4-pots will fit....rx7 cali's are pretty easy to source from junkyards & the rotors i'm using are actaully really inexpensive.

oh ya, i'm not gonna reveal any of the info on the rotors until i'm 100% sure they'l work. I don't want to piss ppl off and waste their money when i'm not even sure if they'll work.

Protegests knows his stuff. He may seem like a chode sometimes but he knows his suspension/braking information. By the way, good luck on those brackets, hope they don't brake on ya.

every big brake upgrade i have ever seen uses brackets to space off and bolt on the calipers, its a proven system
