u sure thats $750 australian$$?? pretty sure its US $$

personally id just go the proven and test RX7 front brake conversion

[jjoeworks]

It is $750 US. I have the same Dynalite Willwood race calipers. They are about 1/4 the weight of the RX7 calipers. I am making my own brackets ect and using the Pug 504 front rotors. If you have the $1200 for the conversion rate and shipping go for it.

cheaper options jdm 86 brake upgrade or ra 40 brakes rotors etc

$907 aus plus postage

[jjoeworks]

Postage on something like this would be around the US$150 because of the weight. My Willwood calipers were about A$295 landed all up .

slotted rotors and a quality set of pads will be almost as beneficial as buying that entire setup, for a fraction of the cost. factor in a MC upgrade, very good pads like project mu' or something and you'd still come in under the buy price of the kit. food for thought

No offence dude, but you gotta be kidding right? You're saying that a dual piston sliding caliper on a 234x18mm disk is "almost as beneficial" as a 4 pot alloy caliper on a 280x25mm disk??? And why would you want to upgrade your master cylinder on your JDM brakes when you haven't increased the overall piston size? All your doing is making sure your pedal has zero feeling by being rock hard.

That T3 brake kit looks like a very good thing. Maybe borderline overkill for a drifter. It would be a good kit for a serious racer, or a club racer with a heavier/faster car setup. Like turbo, big diff etc.

Standard vented brakes (fit in 13" wheel = small) with good pads would mostly be good enough for a lightweight N/A car.
