The racingstore bigbrake kit compability

I got an SA and was wondering if theire kit goes on bolt on, with no modification ?
Have seen on other kits that you need to switch the strut housing out with one from 84 and up. But it doesnt say nothing about that on theire site.

there have been a few threads questioning those kits lately, and there doesnt seem to be anybody that has any experience with them

There's a telephone number....why don't you try it.

And it also says:

" This kit is a DIRECT BOLT ON designed for racing but it will be an upgrade to your existing brakes if you have an 84-87 corolla AE86, Starlet, older style Datsun or early Corolla, Mazda."

It sounds like they have the rotors/hubs for both versions. Call and ask.

I would like to buy it, but I don't have the $$ for the kit, nor the rims. Another thing though, I don't like cross-drilled rotors. They crack way too easily. I'll just stick with some slotted rotors, or just plain ol' vented ones.
