i believe some people have had success in 323s or proteges with them, but i think finding the proper rotor was the hard part. are these in your possession or you just found a pic online?

Re: RX-7 4 pot calibers...been done?

Re: RX-7 4 pot calibers...been done?
I have a set ready to go in the MX, but have not installed them yet. I have been debating on Rotors and 4 vs 5 lug, and 15" wheels vs 16", and 17". and I just a long time to make decisions.
Some of those brackets look scary...
Edit: On another note I always though it would be cool to swap in these

would be a fair price for real Brembo calipers. you can find them for cheaper if you look hard

Re: RX-7 4 pot calibers...been done?
Same question man, I've been on the fence of swapping brakes to the Milli/Subaru setup... I'm much more comfortable dumping money into a setup if the benefit is as great as this looks... I think you'd be more likely to over brake than under brake with these. You'd stop the wheels long before the car!

Re: RX-7 4 pot calibers...been done?
I believe the biggest issue with the MX-3 brakes (according to the MOCA Group) is not really stopping power as it is brake cooling. They ran some home projects that didn't succeed, trying to increase the airflow to cool the brakes... you know, custom piping, the works. There wasn't much space to work with though and life kinda happened, so they nixed it, I think.

Re: RX-7 4 pot calibers...been done?
Your car has Millenia booster right? I wonder how much difference it makes compared to stock mx-3 booster. I'm contemplating swapping over to Millenia but wonder if it's really worth the effort.SuperK wrote:I believe the biggest issue with the MX-3 brakes (according to the MOCA Group) is not really stopping power as it is brake cooling.
