verts have the same brakes as tII?? probably becuase they are fat asses.. so is it very hard to find brake pads for tII?? when i did pads on my s5 vert autozone had to take 3 tries to get the right damn brakes for my car.. they are stupid..

How is the car running? Did you move? My Phatty girl is going on a treadmill soon to see how fast she runs...lol
Nice. Good luck with that swap
keep us updated.
I guess by the thread originator knows that the BBS wheels will fit. So post the pics

And since more models use the 4 piston brakes that even the uber lichet Sport came with, than used the single piston front brakes...
As a hint next time... take the part you are trying to replace in with you to compare before you leave the store.

Who is the stupid one if it took you three trys to figure out which brake pads were right when most FCs use the same pads??

I recieved the N/A caliper and the only thing they could tell me was. 'Well...the computer says its a Turbo one....did you see if it will fit?'

Maybe it is just your area, but the heavy duty brakes (as auto zone lists them) have a reasonably common pad, that is normally in-stock at most auto parts places. If the lame autozone (IMO, one of the worst parts chains out there) didn't have them, why didn't you try some other parts stores?
In fact I have never heard of a auto parts store that didn't stock them since the front pads fit many Mazda's from 86 through 96 (including the FD) as well as several Kia's.

did you miss the part where i said they did not have them in stock? and for the matter i drove myself there and order them. i didnt need to remove a pad from my car to take down there. i was just making fun since im stupid. remember? but thanks anyway for the repeated insults!

i did try other parts stores. autozone had the quickest delivery time... but just order the same pad twice. and it happened to be visually too small. but your probably right its my area. the only rx7 parts that local stores stock out here is oil!
well now you have heard of 2 times when the pads were out of stock. mine and farberio's .

They ordered me the wrong caliper, but probably did not have the brake pads either.
This is what probably happened to you, wrong part but correct in their computer.
