Reply With QuoteYou want RX7 brakes. JDM ones are not that big and just vented.
86 jdm brakes
wondering if jdm front brakes will go onto adm struts or is it totally different shit. i have adm brakes and struts but the brakes are fucking depressing to look at. is it as easy as tracing down the discs ,calipers and caliper mounting brackets and BAM! they bolt onto my stub axels. any help is appreciated. any other upgrades that bolt on would be appreciated. cheers fellas
You want RX7 brakes. JDM ones are not that big and just vented.
i have ae71 brakes at the moment . these would be mammoth upgrade compared to this shit. they were ok before but now with sr its a bit sketchy
jdm discs are the same size as adm but are vented,
and to answer your question yes the will bolt straight on the stub

oh wait if you have ae71 they wont fit, i had the same problem the stub is to short. you'll need ae86 struts.

JDM calipers are the same as ADM calipers I believe, correct me if I'm wrong.
The JDM discs are vented which is where the braking is improved over the ADM set-up.
The only other difference is the JDM pads aren't as thick as ADM, because of the thicker vented JDM rotor, so you will need to sand down ADM pads or buy JDM.
Therefor if your Sprinter struts have ADM calipers, all you need is JDM rotors, and do the caliper rebuild if they need them.
You can get rotors from a good local brake guy. RDA's are supposed to be better than DBA's.
Have a look in the sponsors section.
If you really want, I have some JDM calipers and RDA rotors for sale.
PM me.

unfortunately you are wrong
the Jap calipers are almost exactly the same, but they are a bit wider to accomodate the vented disc. not that much wider. but they are wider. (the vented rotor is 18mm, and i think the solid rotor is 12mm)
adm calipers almost fit on a vented disc, and some ppl have got thinner brake pads (GSL rally sport sells them) to allow the disc to fit in the ADM caliper.
standard ADM and JDM brake pads are exactly the same.
also you cannot get DBA jap ae86 rotors they dont have a listing, but you can get RDA (rda7500s is the number)
In faith there is enough light for those who want to believe and enough shadows to blind those who don't.

JDM calipers are wider to allow for the vented rotor
Get some QFM 750 degree pads, hi temp brake fluid, braided lines and decent slotted rotors and you will have a decent braking setup for the front.
With SR you will want an FC rx-7 brake upgrade with the 262 mm rotors though. AJPS bolt on kit, around 1000 bucks.

AJPS.
Well thats good to know. Thanks guys.
As Konakid said, go the FC upgrade. JDMs wont be up to the job of slowing a singing SR.
