Do you guys know if the first gen rx7 control arms fit up to the rx3?
We want disc all around and we have the rear coverd but we need the front converted.
Any ideas please let me know!

The FB strut assembly fits an RX-3; however, it is shorter and the car will sit too low. Either make a spacer or extend the FB strut housing and use the RX-3 strut insert or similar.

If you want to keep the RX3 front end you can concider the brakes at the following link

Thats my plan. Master cylinder upgrade candidate is from a 1993 Mazda 929, which has a 1" bore.

I'm in the process of building up my RX3 and have been able to replace the tie rod ends and ball joints and all the front bushings.

The RX7 strut conversion is common and gets away from the bolt pattern problem with the RX3. The 4X110 bolt pattern has limited options. The RX7 front end conversion helps with that, but there is a problem with camber that requires a camber plate fix.

It depends on what your plan is for the car!!

There is a lot of information on this site on the conversion. The search function works well!

Just buy the brake kit from The Racing Store. Best option.

That's a nice kit. Not a bad price either.
