    which one will allow me to run 14" wheels or 15" wheels. Not really worried about dish as im using 25mm spacers already.

    I was just recommened the D2 upgrade due to it being AP racing stuff rebadged. So was thinking seriously about it. But i will look into the FC and T3 Upgrade kits.

    How much would i be looking at FC upgrade? and do i retain the same spacing studs?

    NO NO FUCKING NO.

    Take a gun and shoot whoever told you that square in the head.

    D2 is a no R&D chinese quick buck company who don't know shit and make junk products. No testing, no use in motorsport, ever, despite claiming their products are 'race'.

    Didnt you stop to think if its just re badged then why is it half the price??

    Read this now. Right now. Read where it says the Chinese are bad for your health. in fact, read the whole blog.

    the jdm kits (redrilled EG6 disk and caliper adpator) are around $600 from japan, altho similar kits can be found from AJPS? Can fit 14" wheels

    then add $200-300 for Mazda RX7 FC calipers
    1" or similar mc from non abs r32 skyline or something $100ish


    new brake pads and fluid (QFM HPX or rb74 something pads and super dot4 brake fluid)

    D2, G4, all china rubbish breaks or coilovers all the same, seen many of their gear fail, absolute poor quality, might look all bling bling but thats about all.. and who needs 6 or 8 pot callipers on a car so small? and 17's on an 86 aswell... FC

    i highly doubt that.


    i do agree with going fc. you will NEVER need anymore stopping power than a fc kit on an ae86

    cheers guys. as long as i can keep 14" rims or 15" rims i dont really care how much i pay lol. But i will go the FC route.
    just another question sorry.
    But arent EG stud pattern 4x100??? how will the rotors fit my car?
    i dont really wanna change stud pattern coz i got like 6 sets of rims out the back in 4x 114.

    the pcd on the inside of the hub is different, the disks are redrilled to suit that pattern
    using the orginal ae86 hub it will maintain a standard geometry with the larger brakes

    is this something that is fairly easy to do myself? I knwo that i am asking alot of questions so it sounds like i dont know what im diong but im pretty good at following instructions lol.

    So if i buy the rotors i need to purchase the same ones each time from ajps???? Just need to know what im getting myself into. coz thats the prob ive been having with my car. Everything thing that is listed isnt in my car. My brake pads dont even match up to the listed specs so i am finding it hard to get pads.

    Just send AJPS a PM, he'll sort you out.

    You can get rotors from anywhere.
