I've got bit Sumitomo / RX7 4 spot calipers on my AE86. (There's no RX7 logo, just sumitomo.) They were on my car when I purchased and are mounted with a 5mm steel plate to the standard caliper brackets. I've fitted a Whiteline adjustable swaybar and the calipers crash into it when the steering is turned, not even excessively.

Has anyone else had this experience? What did you do to solve it?

Are the calipers just too damn big?

Do the Wilwood calipers and the T3 mounts foul in the same situation?

Please help. :cries:

Nothing to do with the calipers. The whiteline adjustable swaybar is the problem. The design is rubbish with the arms basically coming in parallel to the chassis at the ends. They need to come in at an angle. Get a fixed swaybar and problem is solved.
