rx2 rx3 rear disc brake conversion?

Does anyone want one? I have a custom setup my friend got machined and set up for his car. He no longer has the car and im getting rid of stuff for him. I have no idea what calipers or axles he used. It also comes with the brake cooling ducting. He might make more. Taking offers. i can send u pics to your email.

Thanks for that!


What's the small lower piece for? And just to be clear, will this work on 1st gen rears as well to fit the 2nd gen stuff?

10 is the overall thickness, section that meet the axle flange need to grounded down to 8. Im using rotary power and re-speed bracket, both requires a spacer between the bracket and brake caliper mount. Based on the illustration, aussie bracket requires no spacer since it has been grounded down to 8. Also it says s4/s5 caliper but im sure it can be modified for s1-s3 calipers

i think you are asking if the conversion to s4/5 rear discs suits s1-3 type diffs ?



the s2 ( sa22c ) and s3 ( FB in the US ) feature a triangular 3 bolt flange for the wheel bearing at the axle

the s1 on the other hand does share common 4 bolt PCD spacing at the axle flange to the rx2/3/4 so should be able to be made to work

That depends on what peeps would pay if i can get a shop to copy the brackets. It has to be at least a dozen since a shop need to need to make a jig and such
