retain 15" wheels and use fc calipers

Does anybody know of a brake bracket/upgraded setup for the fb rx7 from stock that allows the use of 15" wheels. I remember a few years back someone sold a bracket to use fc calipers on a gsl-se and then disappeared.

You don't need to upgrade the brakes to use 15" wheels. A 4x110 15" with 20mm offset works great on stock suspension/brakes. I have Koni Rewinds 15" 7" wide 4x110 20mm offset I got mine on sale for $350 with free shipping. This was a killer deal.

As a side note, the old RE-Speed BBK will allow the 2nd gen brake conversion. I use to sell a kit but my machinist stopped supporting me a ran off with my original parts. I still have a couple front kits but no rear.

Here is what the entire old RE-Speed BBK came with for reference. The upper is the rear and lower is the front.
