Installation of brakes from RX7 - Toyota Corolla, 1.6 liter, 1999
After amateur races around the ring, it turned out that the standard single piston brakes were useless, not only did they slow down badly, they instantly overheated and the pads were erased to metal at lightning speed. In search of a replacement, the option of installing brakes and brake discs from Levin BZR Super Strat Suspertion was considered, but stumbling upon an article on the site of the St. Petersburg Levinovod about installing four piston brakes from Mazda RX-7, it was finally decided to install the same. A few days to search and here is a suitable item in a Japanese auction,
Although the condition is not great, but with pads, the price with delivery to Vladivostok was $ 166.
We found another hub from the same Corolla and began to measure and think about how to put it, the diameter of the standard brake discs was small, and the discs from super strata just came up in moderation. Thinking for a long time about the design of the caliper mounting, it was decided to cut off the standard mounting ears on the calipers from the RX7 and make an adapter, the standard caliper mount from Corolla became the donor for the adapter, especially since there are already threaded holes in them, deciding to play it safe, they increased the threaded holes for the bolt 17 "for fastening the caliper to the adapter, drilled two holes in the calipers opposite, the distance of the brake disc to the brake pads was adjusted by the thickness of the washer between the caliper and the adapter, after checking the adapters were still tightly tightened to the calipers several times, the hoses were standard, the calipers became like family ...
The effect of striking the pads is enough for a very, very long time, the brakes are more resistant to overheating and simply slow down like hell. Testing the first days with an accidental emergency braking, I managed to squat a couple of rubber. Thanks to "funser" for helping with the installation. The total budget of the Caliper with RX7 pads is $ 166, Levin SS brake discs $ 55, turner work 1000 rubles, + brake. Of the minuses: disks with a radius of less than 15 "will not stand, the minimum offset of ET disks is 35, and even then not every.

very cool you came up with, use part of the standard caliper instead of the spacer, really cool
PS: I'm not from St. Petersburg :)
great brakes! the caliper sawed, then we were from my ex-korolka))))
brakes fire, not in vain painted red
the turner did not reduce the diameter of the CCC, if they are 275, then they are, the turner only reduced the thickness a little somewhere 1-2mm in connection with the groove of the disks, I will take a picture of the hose attachment and lay it out.
SSS discs have a diameter of 275mm, native 258mm. From the description, I understood that the turner reduced the diameter of the disc, it turns out that he was doing something else?
If possible, add a photo with the attached native brake hose. I am interested in the installation option on the MAC - what is the bend of the hose.
I put disks from SSS according to the manual, they are 262 mm, I did not understand about 275, my relatives are much smaller, somewhere around 245-250 mm. I will measure and post the photo as it is worth, as there are many interested!
What prevented leaving the 275mm disc? Was there not enough iron from the standard caliper? Those. the second photo shows that it is cropped, but how much is not clear.
The caliper is designed for 22mm disc. From SSS - 25mm. What did you do for this?
Why is this a collective farm? braking performance has improved dramatically, the consumption of pads has dropped 4 times, do not carry nonsense!
A collective farm can never be knocked out of a peasant! -) 255mm bicycle disc and 4 piston brakes! Cool! A friend of the Opel Astra HTC has single-piston brakes and a brake disc for a 16 "wheel - it slows down so that the soul breaks out!
it was all done correctly, everything slowed down and did not rub anywhere, so everything that is done in your car by you is also a collective farm!
The collective farm with the fact that this is all done by you, and not by the manufacturer. Everything should be in direct proportion - a large brake disc - cool brakes, and not vice versa.
Not the collective farm is a bolt-on, but everything that is sawed, cut, adjusted - the collective farm, it is clear to the hedgehog -) My collective farm is observed on the front screw racks - they made boots for XYZ racks from the boots of the Super Strat racks. Everything else is stock or tuning specifically for my components.
Everyone has their own opinion! but there is a sense in this! The project was taken from this machine: www.drive2.ru/cars/toyota..olla_levin_ae110_111/il4/ , IMHO if he would have put such calipers uselessly !
IMHO, I see no reason to put such cool calipers on such a Drishchansky brake disc ...

Are the pads from Toyota suitable? One person has, with an adapter for traffic jams / suicide, I'm trying to persuade them to sell) catalogs write that the body number is from 12 characters, but here it is 10.
here are the pads on them according to the catalog www.exist.ru/Price/?pcode=FB71-33-28ZD

google, everything is beating, it's just that it's not already available on the existential, and everything is in catalogs

I know that they are from the body FD3S, existential number FD13-33-980B
Greetings. Such a body does not break through.
Thank you, I have already rummaged through all the catalogues such have not yet seen.
I helped out thanks)))
