OK, i'm getting a conversion done soonish from hoppers stoppers and there kit uses massive twin piston au2 calipers, i am just thinking will they be TO big for an 86?

what size rotors are they using? (will they fit under you rim size 13",14",15",16")

How far out are the calipers going to stick? (Bassically what offset rim will you need to clear them.)

These are the questions you need to ask the people doing the work for you.

If they fit, then no, its not to big, its never overkill with brakes, the bigger the better.

Hope it works for you.

The other problem may rise in the AE86 stub axles, which are fairly small, and may bend or break with excessive force.

sounds like a goer then.

No idea what these calipers are like. But its sounds like you may be on to a good thing. Let us know how you go and get some pics up once its done.
