New Front Brakes!!
 

Just got the photos loaded for my new front brakes...
Any guesses as to the caliper brand?

Yeah Babe!

sweeeeeeeeeeet!!! :D

Nice brakes.........


How about mazda brake calipers.:silly:

Correct, that lasted all of 5 mins!

93-95 RX-7 front calipers.
I think these should stop a 2000lb bug ok? :)
Along with the 944T rears.

I had a 1988 GXL and it would stop on a dime. Really nice brakes...:yummy:

With a little bit of powdercoating and some porsche transfers who'll know the difference.

Craig,

please email me some pics......for the brake galleriers.
It is always good to have different things to show.

Happy new year,

Alex

Is that a Franklins VW Werks setup?

Yup, with late model Rx-7 calipers instead of the 86-92 year ones...just look a little nicer (do difference in piston or pad size, but are more expensive).

But at $190 each fully rebuilt still cheaper than porsche.

They're currently being powdercoated....will see Alex more photo's once completed.

So what car is this going on?

1969 vw floorpan with flared speedster tab...the 5 year project.

Running gear:
915 sc gearbox
WRX EJ20T motor
Ali 944 trailing arms
944T rear brakes
RX-7 front brakes
Whiteline swaybars

hi
they look like there made by brembo ! whats the spacing between the mounting holes on them?

Franklins VW werks?

I thought that they came with porsche 944 turbo calipers. Were the Mazda calipers an option.:confused:

Yup, they are an option.
Weight is about the same, but cost and parts are cheaper, piston's are about the same or slightly larger.

Hmm, your project sound sfamiliar somehow :D
