I don't know the full details, but there is apparently a kit in Australia to bolt 4-pot calipers on the front. Might be worth looking into, although the location is seemingly the exact opposite side of the planet

It can be done. We had the S4 RX-7 calipers set up for our car, with Starion Turbo (same size as S4 discs but different offset) discs. If we didn't have the Simmons wheels and the off set they were made too, we could have used S4 discs. Quite a simple upgrade realy.

There is a guy (guru) here in the forum working on a 2nd Gen T-II brake upgrade.

xtremeperformance.org makes a kit for older RX-4's that will swap over to your car. It will retain the origional 4x110 bolt pattern and give larger rotors and 4 pot calipers. You will need to get wheels larger than 13" to clear the calipers. Talk to Jim and he can tell you all the details.
