FD Calipers on a FC Turbo II
Ok so i just got these FD Calipers Front and Rear,And was wondering a couple thing's i no the Calipers up front will bolt right on no mods needed,And im running the FC rotors up front so there should be no Problem with fitment as far as that's concerned,My Qusetion is will the rear calipers bolt up? And im going to upgrade to Stainless Lines so id need to Know if i need the FD Stainlees Lines or the FC Lines when going about buying,I Know i no of a couple peolpe whom have done this on here but i couldnt find anything on the rears or the lines being the same,Any Help would be Great.

the front calipers are almost the same, so they just go right on. the rears i'm not sure about, but they use the same pad and caliper piston size, so i don't think there would be any difference, or advantage to using Fd calipers in the rear.
the FD has a different offset on the rotors so they won't swap over

Yeah i talked with someone at Mazda Trix yesterday and he said pretty much the same thing the Fronts were a directed Swap but the rear's are not so,My plan is to use the front FD calipers up Front and used the FC rotors up front and leave the back the way it is except for upgrading the Lines and running some Hawk HPS pads!

talking head
i thought the FD caliper has a different PCD.. so doesnt bolt to the same mounts
.. the main change has the internal crossover port now built into the raised pad that has the mazda font.. when in FC it was a small cast lump.. which limited some wheel choices

I no This post is a bit old but havnt drove the car all that much since the Caliper swap and I been noticeing a faint line on the front rotors its not grooved but its like the front caliper pads aren't making full contact with the rotors up front it stops fine just not sure whats causing this problem any help or suggestions to fix this problem would be great!
