Brake kits help!

like some members here, i like to make my life little more difficult heuhuheuheuheuheuhe
get my own turbo kit (pain in the *** to purchase the kits separately)
install my own seats (still in the fraggin process just learned that not all seats fit rx7)
put on the vaccuum hoses myself (dont ask, my mechanic did the rest anyway)
change my own brake pad (see above)
proud to say i successfully change my own oil.

now i just recently got a chance to purchase some real powerful brembos at low price.

But i dont know how it will fit my rx7

can anybody from this forum give me some info about brake kits, what comes with the brake kits and what part i cant life without? (brackets etc)

Brembo sells a kit specifically for FDs (assuming that's what you have). It will have caliper brackets specifically designed for the FD.

Brakes are not something to screw around with, so I wouldn't try to cobble something together (especially considering your stories above of working on your car).

peaple like to help peaple it's the way we are. Mechanic are peaple to but they (I'm one) don't like to be used, and most of the time others come across as your not my frend if you dont help me,that's a turn off. So find some one don't turn them off and ask for help you need it and no body wants to get hurt or dead,

dont worry
i paid for my installs to my mechanic
so we benefit both sides.
reason i try to do it my self is because my mechanic is not here 24 hours a day and rx-7s are a nightmare to deal wit

about the brackets
somebody tried to do it themselves
i wonder whether they are successfull or not
