Unhappy ....and yet another rear end.

i got my car back from the shop not evan two months ago. it was in for about a month and a half. and now, the rear-end has decided to take a **** on me yet again.
getting to the point. since im gonna get a new rear-end (again), i wanted to know if you guys could help me on letting me know what rear with disc brakes will fit on my '79 rx7. thanks, mark.

If you are going to upgrade the rear, you might as well upgrade the front. The best bet would be a GSL-SE complete suspension. You get the biggest brakes and a more normal bolt pattern. The next best would be a 84 or 85 GSL suspension, that would get you disc, LSD, and the bigger bearings all the way round. NOTE: the thread pitch on the earlier cars is different on the brake lines. You can re-flare and re-nut the lines or Mazdatrix used to sell a brake line kit to put later model brakes on the earlier cars. If you just want to do the rear, any rear with disc will do. But do your car a favor and upgrade from the wedge type front calipers to the later floating type.

Good luck.

just a suggestion: might wanna send your cell # via PM next time, as these public posts actually get archived by net bots and have a habit of popping up in the future... never know what a script kiddie will do with personal info

I personally dont install stuff for people I dont really know. Too much liability involved. Just my $0.02 .

so write him up a receipt that says "If you die or are severly injured because of something I screwed up on, I do not take any blame, as you have now officially signed your life over to me... please sign here: x_____________"

I always charge $10 an hour. I think my spare time minus the enjoyment come to about that. I never hurry, but never dwaddle. And I do a good job. Just my $.02 to give you an idea.
