how goes it ? ...... i just got my 88 gtu rx-7and i wanna do my brakes im just doing oem replacement Till i get some cash....for a big brake set but right now im low on funds .... can you guys help me out thanxs

 

what is it that you are asking how to change your brakes? or what kind og big brake kit to go with? be more specific

 

what kind of help do you need? the front is very easy to change, i haven't done rear yet though.

 

You do really need to be more specific about what you want help with? Buy a Haynes manual and read up on what you want to do. If you run into trouble, post your problem here and you will get the benefit of the wisdom of those who have done such things.

 

i hate the fact they used hard lines up front...doing brakes and new shock are a pian in the @#*...any way i guess it would be a good time to upgrade to stainless braided lines .
i too have a 88 GTU so i know where your coming from...i assume thats what he is talking about...

 

dude bring it to my house and ill bust them for you....just bring the jack and jack stands, pads and whatevers needed to do them i have the tools..no problem...i've done single and 4 piston brake setups...with no trouble...at all, that and you wouldent have to pay me anything...i just love working on 7's thats good enough for me...it seems your local...pm me and we'll talk, if not good luck....

:AA:

 

For now, i just wanna change the pads and replace with OEM or better .... im not spoiled rich but something i can take up to turnbull Canyon without gettin alot of fade ... im planning on purchasing ss lines as well but i im sorta new to the mazda scene ... but yea any local ppl ill hit you up thanxs

 

some hawk or axxis ceramics will do what you want without eating the stock rotors alive

 

how is that spoiled rich? that's just proper maintence.

 

you've got good (4 piston front and ventilated rear) brakes, why put on a big brake kit? if you're doing semi-legal street driving, even if high performance, you shouldn't need it.

1. get some good semi-metallic pads from a decent import parts store (bap-geon here in VA) ... also, you don't need to spend over $100 on pads unless you're going to track them or maybe for auto-x
2. de-glaze your rotors with emery cloth
3. grease caliper guides with permatex
4. replace fluid and bleed

5. stop
