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.

 

WOW...looks good

 

I second that....

I will be ordering that kit in the near future as well....

What calipers does that kit use?

 

Tii

 

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.

 

On a weld on coil over kit, do you weld on the new perches exactly where the old perches were located?

 

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.

 

Very nice! Thinking of doing this swap on my car. Did you use 1st, or 2nd gen spindles?

 

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.

 

Sorry, I thought the first gen. turbo spindle was a tipo since you are in North America.

 

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.

 

******* Beautiful...

 

Yes, it seems to be a typo.

The kit "Currently" fits 1984 and 1985 spindles. These have the larger outer wheel bearing.

Here's mine with ARP long wheel studs



and what it looks like with a 15 inch Weld Prostar

 

what kind of offset is required to get 17x8" rim with 225's to fit with this kit? I have some 17x8 rims +35 and a FC to trash I was thinking about getting this.

 

Maximum backspacing up front is 4.5". Plug that into an offset calculator and you can figure out what offset you need at what width.
