Ra60 calipers same as JDM Ae86???

[Mad RS]

I am in need of a better brake setup as I only have ADM brakes atm. I have heard that the Ra60 calipers are the same dimension but need the mounting hole re-drilled. Is this true. The plan is to upgrade to a JDM setup. I have tried the search option but nothing seems to come up about this topic. The car is going to be used as mostly a daily driver but with a sprint event every month or so.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

I've been looking into options aswell. Was planing on the RA60 conversion but was told the calipers are very heavy. You should try find JDM calipers which won't be easy. Until then you can use any jdm disc with aussie calipers and shave your pads.

Apparently that screws up your suspension geometry. Sounds dodgy to me.

yea, so some sigma GH arms would fix that up... maybe
