Replacement brake caliper for RX-3..

I used a 79/80 RX-7 front brake calipers including caliper bracket on the blue RX-4... Im out of 79/80 brake calipers and I cant tell if it will fit a RX-3 and RX-2?

Also, I noticed that the 81-82 mazda 626's brake master cylinder is indentical to our cars. I wonder if this is will fit.

Can anyone confirm any of the above?

thanks

Wacky, if you have some RX3 steering knuckles you can just use the whole RX7 front spindle/strut combo and then the RX-7 brakes are a no-brainer. RX4 steering knuckles supposedly work too.

If anybody has those extra parts you should! I've been looking for a set of RX3 arms to use on my RX2 for a little while now.

Not 100% sure, but I think you can use RX7 steering knuckles. It will slow the steering a little, but it puts ackerman near 100%.

In my blue RX-3, I have a 1st gen front suspension/brakes along with a camber kit. With this set-up, there is more to it as the car will sit too low and Im currently working on it. The reason why Im looking for other brake stuff is to keep another RX-3 in stock condition.

For brake master cylinder, get the 79 323 RWD. Much larger bore than the stocker.

As of this time, Im not rushing to get the white SP done. If the new mods on my RX-3 works, then it will be FB struts/brakes. I will let you know.

Thanks for the offer bro. I really appreciate it.

I noticed when i did the swap on the front my rx2 the wheels curved in on both sides. im using the rx7 gsl-se front suspension. What do i have to do to fix this problem from the bottom up.
