Caliper Question Need Some Help...

I recently purchased the Rx7 store stock replacement brake kit. The kit consists of Brembo cross drilled and slotted rotors, Goodridge brakelines, and Hawk brake pads. I recently have gotten interested in road racing and autocrossing. I driven in about 3 events, one being at Watkins Glen, in a 993 Carrea S that has a full racing penske suspension and a bunch of other little road racing gadgets. Anyways the braking power in the car is unbelievable and i want to purchase a set of calipers for the setup i already have but i have no idea where to start and i already did a search and didnt really come up with anything. So if you guyus could lead me in the right direction that would be great

I think you shouldn't wory much about the calipers as long as they are in good working condition, the cross drilled/slotted rotors will cool of pretty fast compare to stock, hawk pads and SS brake lines are good choice, and for some road racing and autocrossing I think you should be OK with stock calipers.
That's just my opinion, I may be wrong.

If you are going to do alot of the above than you should consider a big brake kit, lots of money but it will be worth the money in a long run.

Ya BBK, and if not then make sure you got some great tires. That will help braking immensely along with the good pads.

In all honesty,

If you want phenomenal calipers for your stock rotors then I would highly suggest the Endless Brake kit upgrade. It does not include rotors, but simply calipers like you're asking.

Contact me via pm if you're interested. Expect to spend as much as another BBK.

Thanks, Rishie

I'd stay with the Porsche 993 Carrera S as the track car...much better in reliability, and you just canNOT fade Porsche brakes!!! I'll trade you my FD Type RS brake kit (fr/rr) for your 993 Carrera S track car--my FD Rx7 R1 comes with the Type RS brake kit LOL
