Hi

I have a RX7 FB 1982 with the GSL-SE spindales and discs, I want know if is possible put the calipers from a RX7 T2, and if is easy the swap?

best regards

Thanks, thats a interisting product... but I want the gsl-se discs, and 13'' wheel. The only thing that I want is put the T2 4pot calipers.

regards

 

TII calipers will not work with the smaller rotor. Larger rotor dictates 15" wheels min.

 

GSL-SE brake discs have 260mm and T2 discs are 280mm, the T2 4pot calipers will work with 260mm discs. The only problem is adapte the T2 caliper on GSL-SE caliper mounts.

Anyone have done this?

260mm discs will fit in 13'' wheel (I don't like big wheels)

regards

 

The next thing to look at is will the T2 calipers, once fitted to the SE caliper brackets, clear the wheels?

 

I hope that have enought clearance to the wheels. I have a 13''x8'' wheels with a big offset, and plenty of room inside. but I think that is possible put the T2 calipers... I will se.

regards

 

i don't think it will fit. the T2 calipers are huge

 

You also have to remember the rotor thickness is not the same. I do not believe the TurboII calipers will use the smaller rotor effectively, I think you will have pad issues. The other issue is that the turboII caliper may not clamp down on the thinner rotor without having the pistons to far out of the bores. If all that works out, I still do not think the caliper will fit under a 13" wheel.

i've got a set of T2 4pots and SE front rotors coming off my other car in a few days... i'll look and see how close the width would be. I dont think it would work either.

 

Would adding the bigger calipers really make that much difference if you are still using the stock size rotors and wheels? Seems like it might be over kill.
