Well it took a 20lb sledge hammer alot of oil heat and time but I got the dammed things off of the rotors. So I got the hubs cleaned up, new bearings and and started the mockup. Here is how it is right now. Everything looks good and I will eventually put the Hawk Hp's on there with the Respeed bolt on coilover kit.

Turbo spindels from a first gen and the calipers are a four piston from any 2nd gen. I went ahead and bought everything from Respeed except for the hub and spindles which I got from some of the members here.

If I remember correctly you can set it where you want to change the inital height of your car. Also you will have a little more adjusatability to it. I am going to do the bolt since I do not fully trust my welding abilities. I will have a little less adjustability but this will only be a part time road rally car and not a full timer.

1st Gen Turbo Spindles. 2nd Gen 4 piston calipers and rotors and the big brake kit. You will also need the wheel hub from any and 2nd gen. I used the 5 lug since I will be doing a 9 inch Ford rear. Easier to match. The hub I got for 25 each from a member but the dealership wants 510 even with the Rx7 Forum discount. Something else I learned during this swap. We get 10% off here in Hampton VA for being a forum member. If someone had a cnc machine they could make a lot of money making hubs. They are a basic circle with 5 holes. RBilly ought to think about that.

From website: The FB Big brake kit was designed to put second generation rotors, hubs and calipers onto a 84-85 big bearing FB front spindle. Kit comes complete with all mounting hardware and instruction manual. Customer supplies the second generation parts to complete the swap.
