Performance brake system for tx3

[Phr3ak]

5 lugs knuckles differs from front to back. Front we normally use the Lantis knuckles, and the back use 210 knuckles. Front 210 knuckles cannot use because of the tie rod location is different. I used 5 lugs knuckles before. By changing the knuckles only, i can feel more response in my braking system. But now im using 4 pot Mazda Savanah with RB2? rotors. Endless pads. Wohoo... super nice...

Yeap. RX-7 calipers. With RB20 rotors. Simply, because its bigger than FC rotor. And yeah, i modified my own bracket. Send to machine shop to modify it.
Anyways, i still got 3 sets of RX-7 4 pots brakes up for grab! RM400 each...
I dont have the pics of my calipers for the time being, will post it soon.
I cant remember how much i spent on my brakes. Haha... Around 600++ i presume.....

besides the bracket, did u do anything else? like ...adding spacer or something?

is your bracket somethig like this?

 

[Phr3ak]

yeap, my bracket looks sumthing like that, the location is correct. I used to use 5 lugs lantis, all 4's (normal calipers)... then i changed to 4 lugs wit FC calipers... simply coz, my spare tyres is 4 lugs... haha...

 

[b00n]

the 5 lugs can be modified to suit 4 lugs car...
but lazy to do that.........
as long as don't drive fast and keep safe braking distance, I think should be okie.....
my back passenger side handbrake pump jam; just pulled out the handbrake meaning one side no hand brake.
If I saw a good and cheap brake set; I will buy.
I still got a set of front B8 knuckles and and calipers. Brake pad should be ceramic compound cos the disc that I'm using now, before skimming; the disc was eaten by the brake pad kau kau.......that's why I still haven't install the knuckles yet...

 

[jam3slee]
