fd brakes question

Hi, can anyone tell me if the brakes off a US RX7 will fit the brakes off a JDM RX7.
Are the sizes of the centre hole different?

or does anyone know where i can get the information?

Please note I am not talking about the larger 99 spec rotors just standard ones.

Thanks

Ed

fwiw, there are no '99-spec' larger brakes - the brake update (314mm rotors and altered calipers) started way back in 95, and was used in higher spec versions until the final production run

afaik, there are no differences between lower-spec JDM and export brakes

the reason i ask is because i was told the follwing........

The center hole in the US spec. rotors measures 2.640" while the JDM (and therefore European models) measure 2.837"

can anyone clarify this?

cheers
