Yes it is!! cause before that I install the wheels spacers there were almost scratching the wheel, so as I install the 3mm spacers they have for sure more than 3mm of clearance

When I change the suspension setup I mist OEM brake setup and balance , so now should work perfect if my calculations are correct.

Ok here we go again Im intalling the gt500 rear brakes to compensate the evo 10 ones at front Acording to my calculation this should solve the problem of the brake balance Im intalling the rotors and calipers
I think that the Mustang gt500 that the brakes came from is 2011

Racing brakes evo x 348mm rotors are arround $1000
The evo 8 calipers $400
Brake lines at mazdatrix around $100
Brake lines adaptors $200
Adaptors for the calipers i spend $200
3mm spacers for the front wheels $20
Rear gt500 calipers rotors and pads (ebay) $120 shipped
I still need to fabricate the adaptors but it looks very easy compares to the fron ones

I am also going to use EVO IX calipers on my car. My friends with Evos say their brakes are sufficient for track days so if they stop a 1400-1500kg Evo, I'm sure they'll do a perfect job on a 1250kg RX7.

looks great man. also for ls1 camaro guys run 4 piston ctsv brembos under 17inch wheels. but you have to grind the top of the calipers to squeeze them under. and they dont fit under most 17'' wheels
