Does anyone make them for a 79? I was looking for a Hawk HPS to match my fronts...

They're about $130 thought.

 

hmm, nothing for a 79. 81 will fit i believe, and they are only 89.95 (for a pair i hope!)

 

^^hey my internet is acting up...can you look up brake shoes for an 82 for me? PLEASE!! thank you!

 

 

thank you sir!

 

np

 

It looks like they only have pads for 7's. Unless they changed that part designation to AP for all there brakes. What are the chances the shoes from an RX-4 would fit on the backing plate of a 7?

 

scroll down a little further. The description will say RX7 Rear Drum/R or something. There are some for '79s. And the part # will be SHOE####

 

$130.00 for a set of rear. Since shoes only do about 30-35% of the braking?
For maybe alittle more you could get a GSL rear end complete and have a LSD to go with your 4 wheel disk brakes.

 

right you are!

sorry about that onlyonthurs, here is the right pic

 

sub 200$ GSL rear end sounds shady :p


and i have heard that drum brakes are more effective as in stopping power than discs are, but the main difference is drums overheat way easily.

 

Hey Jeezus.....i just got my BREMBO drums today.....MAN they look good and they are made very well!! I got them for 37 bucks each online. Just thought i would give you a heads up since you are looking at drum brakes

 

That looks like the same carpet that was in my apartment in San Antonio. lol

Nice pile of parts sir.

 

LOL thanks mang! And the parts are gonan keep on piling. My new rims coming in tommorow...my SLotted rotors should be coming in at the beginning of next week

 

Double post, delete

 

sweet, drums and pads?

oh and where did you get the reman calipers at?

 

$37 each for new drums is a good price. Where did they come from?

 

Hey Rogue....i got the brembo drums from this online store and they shipped them EXTREMELY FAST too.... http://catalog.eautopartscatalog.com...art=Brake+Drum



And jezzuz i got the calipers on ebay from here:

What kind of rims did you get? I love the meshies you have, so they must be panas?

 

I bought these rims...Pana knockoffs basically...but thye look freakin sweet....

Konig Rewinds
15x7 4 x 110mm and 20mm offset

$500 bucks shipped to my door


they will be in tommrow....IM SO HAPPY


***oh and everyone is asking if i am gonna sell my black 83 LE wheels....and the answer is NO! Im usin gthem for my autocross days ***

 

REwinds would have been my second guess but you will NEVER see those on my -SE!

(they wont fit!)

Awesome wheels man...

 

I've seen a couple sites selling those rewinds, and would consider getting a set, but I'm too partial to my Ronal's......
$500 for a set, including shipping, is good price. Most sites list them at $129 each, plus shipping.
Glad to see more wheels being made available for these "odd" cars.

 

You will love the HPS pads. Very good pads.
