    Default Need some help with struts/brakes setup not fitting Ae86

    Hey guys and gals - Ive run into a road block and am looking for some advice. What i have acquired is some Adm Struts, Brand new Jdm rotors, Jdm Calipers, Qfm pads, Adm hubs and ajps coil over weld on kit. What my issues are that the rotors just don't seem to fit in between the calipers even with no pads in there. I went to my local pedders and they guy there seems to think the solid core will fit but I didn't believe him as from what i can understand this setup should work. Is there something I'm missing or have I been duped somewhere along the lines. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

    Maybe the hydraulic part of the calliper is from JDM ae86 (2022 is correct for that) but it has a mismatched outer slide casting from the adm ae86 that the jap rotor wont fit into? It looks like the bit the piston lines up with is wide enough where the pads go, but not the outer casing part?

    That makes so much sense, I bought a rebuild kit for 2022 calipers which fitted as it should! I think I might have the ours casing of adm set in the shed to match! I'll see if i can get some photos to confirm but you may be on to something!

    The rebuild kit is the same the only difference will be the width of the parts to suit the wider rotor.

    I've googled a few jdm caliper pics and they look a heap different so that has to be it! Looks like I'll have to buy a full set as No one will sell the outers! Thanks for all your help!
