    Default Swap Altezza/Progres'/Brevis 2 pot rear calipers on AE86/KE70

    Hellos,
    Just wanted to know if anyone has used 2Pot rear calipers off the Altezza/Progres/Brevis on their ae86 or Ke70.

    I'm doing the famous 4 pot FC RX7 swap at the front (KE70) so I'd like to use 2 pots on the rear to make the ratio 2:1...



    Any ideas?

    When you say matched you can do the same by having single pistons on the back, so long as the cross sectional area is right. It can happen that a single larger piston uses more fluid than two smaller ones.

    Thanks for the idea... Well, the pistons in the altezza rear 2pots are 35mm in diameter, which are really close to a 2:1 ratio with the 36mm rx7 4 pots... That's why I thought they'd be a viable option. Do you know of any single piston rear caliper with similar specs?
