psychofox Regular Location: Wollongong, NSW Registered: April 2004	Re: Psychofox's AE86 Fri, 30 September 2005 07:26 Thought I'd put up some pics of my brake conversion. The calipers and rotors are both from an FC3S RX7. The rotors were drilled for 4 stud. The plates are made of 13mm plate (aint gonna move for sure), which is mounted onto the stock position without spacers, etc. The rotor is then mounted over the top of the wheelhub (floating like most cars these days), as opposed to bolted to the back of the hub. To do this, I had to machine the outside of the hub by about 5mm for it to fit inside the hat of the rotor. With this setup the disc doesn't quite line up with the centre of the caliper(out by 6mm), so I had to get some spacers made up that sit in between the hub and the hat of the rotor. this also was to make the rotor hub centric rather than lug centric as the hole in the RX7 disc is about 15mm larger than the hub diameter on the AE86 hub. I had to run longer wheelstuds as well. I got some braided lines made up to suit this - which weren't really needed, the stock AE86 ones fit fine - but I thought it would make the braking better. I had to get bigger wheels after this, as the MA61 wheels don't clear the caliper in it's posision, so I got a set of MX73 wheels, which are 15x6" and I wanted to run 15s anyway. The way I have done the brakes - floating rather than bolt on the back - increases the front track by about 15mm per side. So the wheels sit out a bit nicer at the front. So the cost of this.... I got the calipers and the mounting plates for $300 (dirt cheap - but I had to mofity them anyway) The spacer/locaters cost me $350 (OUCH!) I had the rotors from another project Braided lines cost me $145 New Ferodo pads cost $55 so a total of $850 for the conversion. I'm probably going to get a R32 master (say $100) and the rejigged brake lines ($50) and some slotted rotors ($300 for the pair) which will bring the total conversion to $1300. Not cheap, but the brakes are chalk and cheese better than the ADM AE86 offerings. The rotors are now 276x22mm (vented) vs old 234x12.5 (solid). Best thing is the new calipers are heaps lighter than the old ones, which offsets the fact the discs are a fair bit heavier... Pics: Front on, showing the spacer/locater ring Side on, see the thickness of the new rotor and the size of the calipers... Back of caliper - see the plates and the Whiteline RCAs Pic of the braided lines I haven't got them engineered yet, but I'm pretty confient they should pass... [Report message to a moderator]
