Default EF big brakes a different way
I got these RX7 4 piston aluminum calipers off of Ebay for $23... Cleaned em up , ground off the ""mazda" painted them red to make em look Brembo Baller.

The spindls are from a 90 integra the pic was with stock rotors..

But I also found that a redrilled Sentra SER SPec V will fit the spindle with no clearence issues...

not sure if I am gonna go with the integra rotors or the spec V rotors (3 times the cost)

Next up I am going to make an adapter from some 1/4" plate using the plasma..

these are going on an 89 Si I am building for the GRM $2008 Challenge

Between the 2 integra rotors , Spindles and RX7 calipers I have less than $60 in the entire front setup...

89 Si Z6 , T3 , Starion , vitara's...just need to put it all together

I bought supra calipers to do this exact same thing. I haven't found any larger rotors though that fit.

No , they don't bolt up , I am gonna make an adaptor out of some plate 1/4" steel using plasma.

still don't know if it's gonna work out..

If not I will just sell the calipers.. no huge loss...

judging by the area that the caliper covers (or doesn't) looks liek I am gonna have to use Spec V rotors..

here is an easier way and be safe while doing this..

all you need are any bigger factory HONDA/ACURA caliper and pick what rotors you want to use.. it will save you machineing time and headaches
