So I have a 91 coupe. Original 5 lug, single piston front and rear, vented front brake disk, and solid rear brake disk. Can I put vented brake disks in the back without modifications (changing brake studs, or anythign else)? Also with the vented rear disk, does it use a different brake pad from the rear caliper with SOLID brake disk? I need to know asap because I need to order brake pads and change everything by next week =|

 

i thought 91's came with 4 pot vented in the front and single vented in the back?

 

In order to get vented disk in the rear you'll need the brackets and calipers since the rotor is wider. You have to have the vented disk calipers and rotors, but they do use the same brake pads. So, you dont have to worry there.

 

Most 91's came with this set up

 

So the regular caliper (solid rotor) won't work with a vented rotor? damnit.. =( *Sigh* i guess it won't be done by next week.. anyone selling rear calipers for vented rotors?
or can i go to kragen and get them?

btw thanks for the replies

 

i just checked, it's the 91's with the A package that have them.....stupid mazda and their options packages.

 

i may have some rear brakes from my old 91 for sale. It had the A Package.

 

man but shipping is gonna be such a b****.. i'm so broke. i hate this car.. yet i love it. stupid mazda indeed roen.

 

haha, i can't imagine shipping from nyc to norcal to be anywhere near cheap.

 

You can get the calipers at kragen....actually I work at that crappy place lol. But sad thing is, no you can't use the calipers you have now. Goodluck

 

OH just go to the junkyard or something for the calipers. I got mine there and they still work good. You're in norcal so just go to a pick-n-pull. There's plenty....fairfield, sac., oakland, richmond, stockton, etc.

 

we cna't call and ask if they have the vehicle there huh? I don't wana travel across the city to find an rx7 NOT there. freaking aye this sucks. I'm in SF

 

no you can't call I dont know why, but if you got to one and they don't have it. They will look it up at another pick-n-pull. They can do that but you can't call and ask. Pretty stupid but those are the rules I guess.

 

I've been thinking about just selling my NEW Brembo vented rears and finding some solid rotors in the back but I can't seem to find it. Does Brembo make solid rear rotors? Can anyone link me or give me some info on where to find solid rear rotors?

 

i've never been to a pick & pull that didnt have an fc with the big brakes. thay always have a few

 

which picknpull in San Jose did you go to rotaroy? I'm there on weekends. Maybe I can go to one and take a look
