A mate of mine showed me a 20v black sprinter from fast fours the other day that had series 3 rx7 front brakes. I remember they have a similair stud pattern, how easy is this conversion? anyone done it? estimate cost?

RX7 brakes are a fair hassle to put on a Sprinter. The main problem I think is getting them set in enough so that the calipers dont hit your wheel.
Costs are approx:
Calipers - $300 second hand
Rebuild kit - $75
New discs - $450 but depends on what you get
New Master cylinder - $100
Possibly new pads - $$$
Mounting brackets - DIY or lots for custom made
Pipes and other crap.
Or IDB in Melb do a conversion including changing to a fatter RA40 stub axle for around $1600 I think.

"Would that have been Hayden's Black Beauty???"
Yea I think that was the owner, I really want his suspension set up, I don't think the chrome mags suit the sprinter tho.
"bit exxy to initally fit

Cheers, I'll look into it.
