Problems with aftermarket front caliper hardware kits.
I bought a set of FD calipers that didn't come with the pins or springs and I'm trying to find an aftermarket kit. I ordered the Raybestos kit (H15728A) which is what is listed for '93 and '94 Rx-7 Front brake calipers but the pins are too short by about 10-15mm... they don't even protrude from the other side of the caliper - looks like they might be for the FC 4-pistons.
So I went back onto the website to check what part number they give for FC calipers and sure enough they are the same. Raybestos and Beck/Arnley both give the same part numbers for FC and FD front 4-piston calipers but as we know they shouldn't be the same length.
Has anybody found an aftermarket kit that actually fits or am I going to have to shell out 100+ bucks for OEM pins and shim kit?
Note: I ONLY need the springs and pins... I have the shims and pads already from my FC calipers which is why I don't want to order OEM.
