what year do you have?

If you have a 1.6L you can simply get the 1.8L brackets and reuse your existing calipers to use the larger 10" 1.8L rotors and pads.

see the archive.

Scot he is saying he has some rx7 brakes he want's to know if they will do him any good. To the OP I dunno realy you might have to be the one to try this and let us know about it.

I doubt they'll fit. If you have the brackets it takes about 15minutes to go find out yourself.

Hmm I have two FCs sitting in my shop with my Miata right now.. If I get bored I may take a braket off one and see how they measure up.

sorry, i wasnt really clear on that. I meant that i was wondering if rx7 brackets will fit on my 1992 miata calipers. i was looking for the older year brackets from a miata but there surprisingly hard to find at the pick and pull. I happen to see a lot of rx7s there though so i was just wondering.

Apex where is your shop?

Few Miata here has fab new bridge brackets to fit FC/FD calipers. Furthermore, you will need to find brake disc to fit your hubs.

Racine, WI. I think Roman may have been there a while back when my friends were running their parts sales out of it.

Lmao, it completely slipped my mind that they are 5 lug..

IIRC, I've seen rx7 (FD i believe) caliper kits for the miata, required custom brackets.

Depends on the package, some FC's are 4 lug and some are 5.

I believe I've seen a kit that includes a wilwood based front package and brackets for rx7 calipers in the back.

Oops you are correct, I should have known considering my SE originally came with 4lug hubs before the PO swapped it. There must be something in the water up here.. Because im losing it!!
