    Default Identify these calipers please

    Car - Ae86

    motor / part in question - Front calipers

    problem - Don't know what its from

    occurs/started when (if applicable)-

    personal situation (if applicable)-

    Howdy, I have calipers here I took off my adm ae86 thinking they were adm calipers. However, I bought some coilovers that came with adm calipers and they turned out to be very different to the ones that came off my car. I searched the numbers but only came up with a reference to a T-18 caliper? Here are some pics next to the 2014 adm caliper:

    do the calipers bolt on to the backing plate on the new coilovers?

    if not can you take photos of the two backing plates side by side?

    my guess would be ke70 calipers

    could very well be t-18 calipers. Same strut pacings at the bottoms, could have been replaced at some point in its life without anyone noticing, easy enough struts to come across

    I'm pretty sure they do, can't get the backing plates off of the coilovers at the moment because I can't get the hub off! But since everyone seems to be in a identifying frame of mind, can someone tell what hubs these are? The hubs that are off are 'supposedly' ae86 hubs, don't know what to expect with this car anymore.

    Definantly don't look like T18 calipers, T18 aren't a fully floating caliper, and T18 calipers do not "bolt" strait on to any other struts that I know of, pretty sure they can be put on ke70 struts with little modding.
    Hubs I am pretty sure you can just measure the bearing size, but T18 and ke70 hubs don't fit on AE86 stub axle from what I have tried personally, may be able to fit ae86 bearings and races to then and they may fit, but I am unsure of that.
