I was going to look at www.mazdarepu.com to see what people had to say about shocks and brakes that fit the REPU but it is down right now In the meantime, does anybody have any recommendations for pads, shoes, rotors, drums, and shocks that are not very expensive and work on the REPU? Any other vehicles that these parts are interchangable with?
thanks

In my experiences, I got some cheap shocks because my truck is lowered 2" (kept original front springs if I want to go back to stock height) and they work lots better than the old stockers, from Schuck's. I got loaded calipers because I needed pads too and four wheel cylinders from Al's (when they were still in bussiness). My shoes were good enough to reuse. This was 5 years ago and I recently adjusted the shoes. The brakes feel pretty good.

As far as compatability, I think the Courier had dual wheel cylinders in the front (only the REPU had front disks, hehe). I think B2000 front pads may work. Rear shoes were also easy to find at Al's (I didn't need 'em so I took 'em back. Maybe I shoulda kept 'em?). I couldn't tell you about rotors or drums though.

 

1st gen RX7 pads fit. Sometime you may have to drill a small hole for your"vibration spring" to keep tension between the pads when not engaged. But you don't have to if you don't mind clicking brake pads.
Shoes are still out there. Rear cylinder seals are getting hard to find. Sometimes?

Is Dan merging some other pages in with the www.MazdaREPU.com page? I am getting response mail from people and I have no idea where they are seeing the questions. The Yahoo REPU club isn't the souce. Did I miss something?
