well, I have noticed a lot of big brake threads right now and I found this site http://www.theracingstore.com/brakes...ad_bkit12.html
from the "MazdaRepu.com" site. I searched but didnt find anything on the kit. If you have the kit could you please post some info on how its doing?

thanks, kevin

 

Damn! Nice! Thanks Kevinbtz.

 

yea, it looks like a good kit for the $. The only things I was wondering about is the rotors(cracking) and the calipers(good qualaty?)

 

I think I'd want to know what brand of rotor and caliper were used. Also, I don't find it encouraging that the promotional picture displays a cross-drilled rotor.

Frankly, you can get very cheap brakes that look very impressive for not a lot of money. I think you should ask them exactly what componentry is involved, and then google the hell out of them.

 

woah, those are some wicked brakes. yeah i hope they're not just some cheap thrown-together ****. and maybe i missed this, but are they just front brakes, or do you get rears too?

anyone with info please post it, i'm dyin to know

 

You can't go wrong with Aerospace Components...looks like I know what I'll be using next year's tax refund on...

 

http://www.aerospacecomponents.com

seems like a trustworthy company looking at the products they carry, but I would still like to hear from a 1st hand experince

 

I have the rear disc conversion for my '68 Firebird from them...it's not installed yet because I'm trying to decide between Strange or Moser axles and get a Torsen diff for the ten bolt rear-end so I can do the whole back drivetrain and brakes in one shot...read--->$$$... It's great stuff. Racers and the Pro-Touring crowd would have bad-mouthed them out of business by now if their products didn't work.

 

yeah kevin i'd like to hear from customers too. i'm the one trying to get a repu big brake kit together on mazdarepu.com but there's not enough paying buyers ready to go in on the first run. i'm gonna be real busy next 8 weeks, may not have time to pursue repu brakes until afterwards anyways. brad.

 

yea, I was on there looking up some stuf for my repu and ran across your thread. If you cold pm me if you get any thing rollin on the repu big brake kit.
thanks,
kevin

 

whoops, maybe not.

none of thier kits look to be vented. that **** will break

 

Speculation or experience Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

 

its says on the racing store page that the "Rotors come Slotted/Vented/ Cross drilled and Zinc Plated as standard in our kit"

 

u can buy the lightweight drag racing only kit which is non vented, or the big daddy 12" vented dealy.

 

Here is someone that has bought this kit https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...95#post4810295

 

yea see solid disc, not vented that will crack.

 

And the person in the article mentioned they were getting the drag kit...

 

what about replacement pads? how available are they?

 

I dunno, but I just posted in the other thread to ask...
