    Hey Guys and Gals,
    I am just about to start engineering (at drawing stage at the moment) caliper brackets that will adapt S13/GTR calipers to Ae86 struts. The whole setup uses S13 disc's as well. The standard hub also has to be modified and it could be done on an exchange basis.

    I am really just interested in seeing if anyone is after a brake upgrade like this. Calipers are fairly cheap to buy from wreckers and disc's can also be bought new from DBA, RDA etc. if there is no interest I will just have a 1 off made and leave it at that.

    Cheers

    Mad RS

    I'd be very interested for one I'm looking for a good brake upgrade and the s13 stuff is good but I didn't want to change to a whole s13 coilover setup. Keep me posted on how this goes.

    Well what i would provide is the plates. It could cost between $100 to $160 I think for the set. I am not sure as I haven't had a chance to ask my engineer about cost. Then all you would have to do is get you hub machined (I will ask about a rough cost to this also) and have longer studs fitted. Then you just need to track down a set of S13 SR20 disc's and caliper or GTR calipers if you want to go for a huge upgrade.

    Sounds good. A guide to what machining is needed with pics to go with the kit would be icing on the cake.

    Cool. I will tell my engineer that depending on price there may be 5 or more people interested. I hopefully will go see him tomorrow. I will setup a diagram on the other machining that has to be done.
