Just a quick question. as the title says: Do ae86 ADM (solid discs. eg.DBA700) fit up to t18 struts and t18 calipers??

Any first hand experience would be great.

thanks

in short no

but they can be made to fit

the caliper backing plate needs to be redrilled to suit the square pattern of the t18 struts

Looking for a hassle free disc swap. Guess i'll hunt around for t18 discs.

just get some t18 discs and slot them...they are only about 3mm smaller than 86 anyway...

Yep, they are. DBA148's. You know your stuff :)

Hopefully DBA still make them.

just upgrade the struts to ae86
then you can smack jdm rotors and pads on there

you don't even need to change the strut top or the steering arms...
probly cheaper and better in the long run.
