SA22C is the 1979-1980 in the states. FB is 1981-1985. As it applies to your application, the SA models have a longer strut. FB brake lines are a finer thread.

You really do have much to offer, but I'm sure you have heard that before. Thanks for all your attention and help.

You've built and tuned over 100 rotary cars and are 50 years old, but have just joined RX7Club in December of 2018?

The OP is actually posting relevant information as to what he's looking for without getting any help from you. Purists that won't even talk to guys who run piston engines in their fun cars are the worst kind. I'm sure you daily drive a car with pistons, as we all do here.

To the OP, you're not going to find much in the ways of a larger brake kit for the setup you have. The closest you'll find is a TII swap kit that was once made by RESpeed but is no longer produced. That kit was remanufactured recently but was sold out pretty quickly. Other than that, finding larger brakes for an FB is almost impossible.

Funny how its the older guys that are ******** about the whole piston vs rotary thing. In the end we are all car guys and gals...

Airford, please let me know if you need more info on the brake conversion, I have all the files you need and a spare set of caliper mounting plates.
