Just got the lines on. Good to go.

 

what all did you use other than T2 calipers?

 

*woah* Nice! Definitely want more info...

what SS lines are you using? i havent seen any that go straight into the calipers other than billys, and they use banjos. theyre what i have on my car.

 

Those look the same as the TII calipers I installed during my brake upgrade.

 

Yes, they are billy's lines.


Trochoid, did you have to proportion the brakes.(i have an SE)

I am running SE calipers on the back

 

cool. one thing ive found problems with the kit is that the caliper rubs against my rb sway bar. i was thinking if i could mount the calipers on the back side rather than the front side. another issue i had was that the rotors rubbed the control arms. has anyone else had this issue?

 

^^ to counter act the caliper hitting he sway bar you have a few options. all of which involve switching the caliper to trailing rather than leading.

1) get respeed turn in spacers
2) get a set of the new mark II brackets
3) get a respeed R&P set up

 

I'm still running the oem drum ppv that came on the car. I have the an SE master and ppv that I may install. Still sorting out some pressure issues due to switching brake fluid types. May not have the old DOT5 completely bleed out.

I mounted the calipers forward and have no rubbing issues, but I'm also running an ST sway bar with a very short sway bar link.

One problem I did run into was with the SSRs. When I mounted them, they bound on the bump on the brake caliper just below the Mazda logo. On the 1st pair of calipers, I ground the bump down flush. While bleeding the brakes, I heard a loud pop, I had blown a hole in the side of the calipers. That bump is a passageway between the 2 pistons. DO NOT grind it! I ended up running spacers to clear the calipers.

 

Just a thought, maybe the ReSpeed sway bars will fit without problem.

 

^^ oh yeah, forgot about that solution also

 

Yep, short end links will work.

The MarkII brackets will mount the calipers to the trailing side. They are not out yet though. We will list them in the catalog when they are.

Mark I brackets will work trailing with bump steer spacers

id swear those were mine to...

nice job

 

pretty nice setup! you'll have to let us know how the car stops or if you run into any trouble during the completion of this project!
