What is involed to switching to the JDM brakes, is it as simple as taking the OZ 86 rotor and caliper off and then bolting on the JDM ones?
Does anyone know the size of the rotor for both the OZ and JDM?
Cheers

Yeah, nothing too hard there, just swap the hubs, callipers, etc. or throw the whole strut in for that matter.
The oz spec ones are about 230mm, the JDM are slightly bigger, but at least they're vented. Still fit inside a 13" wheels though. It is surprising how much abuse they'll cop though if you give them decent pads - old corolla brakes always astound me how much they'll take with decent pads, well at least compared to cars with heaps bigger brakes (and weight!) e.g. falcodores.

Yeah I do, but I don't use the stocky brakes! I'm using some uzs130 crown rotors and mazda 4 pot calipers

141kw at the wheels at about 6900rpm and 13psi boost - intercooler and turbo killing any more power, hopefully next few weeks will have them both swapped for slightly bigger pieces of gear and about 185kw at the wheels

damn that is some nice power.
I've got a GZE block (early one, CR 8.0), will be running a T25G (from a S13 SR20DET) @ 1.0bar and stock ecu.
I have no idea how much power I would make.
