Brake upgrade

Hi, I have a 85 GS Rx-7 and I want to upgrade to the 4 piston front and two piston rear Turbo II brakes. Not counting the size of the wheel, will these calipers fit on factory FB rotors(Ihave rear rotors from a GSL)? If so is there anything else i need to do to make them work? If not what can I do to make them fit? Thanks for any help you can offer

No, it's not quite that simple. Check over at www.re-speed.com and take a look at their big brake upgrade kit, which is for doing exactly what you want to do. There have also been discussions on this at the respeed forum, so you can read up on it a bit too while you're there.

Ive got one more question, will the brake kit require me to change to GSL-SE struts to get rotors with 4x114.3 bolt pattern, or can I use it on the stock 4x110 rotors?

I think he's got a lot of options to cover what you want. Go to his website (posted above) and check into his forum, he'll answer your questions that you have there.
