how to install fc3s callipers on a b6t?

[pimpin323]

theres definately a bracket or somewhat involded? a detail drawings of the bracket will be much appriciated.

 

[pimpin323]

lookie what i got for a bargain! now i've got to do some r&d measuring for the braket. it seems that the vr4/galant rotors are abit fat to fit in the callipers. will figure this out soon. yahooo

man those things sure gonna need space...17" rims muat ka?

FC disk+caliper need a 16in rims minimum!!! Sorry to spoil ur mood bro, but pls check the price for the brake pad if u r seriously considering to put the brake to ur car. Plus the cost to mod it.

hello..this topic had been discussed few months back.. pls look for 'performance brakes for tx3"..inside mazda/ford forum. as i know a guy working amoil is using fc caliper and rb20 rotor in his 323. u guys can ask him. it costs about 500 just to mod.

you have gone the wrong way dude
should have get the whole set plus knuckle too
now your wasting time custom made the bracket for the caliper
and yet the not sure it will work.due to the disc size and the caliper
some ppl say can work
but any prove of it?
even it works..
does the brake pads warp the whole disc? bullshit?

no fren,...the knuckles will never fit no matter wat u do to it.
rear wheel drive knuckles cannot fit front wheel drive!
pimpin's idea is actually good. because vr4 evo123 rotors can fit our cars by just changing the pcd to 4x100.

anways..i found something new. fiat coupe brembos should be able to fit our cars too. but need to custom brackets to mount the calipers.

by the way pimpin said its a R&D project..it needs some time to prove whether it works or not.

you also notice the brembo's too hahahahai was long gone wih thattoo expensiveso never go that wayif r&dis just for the low budget guysby the waypimpin using vr4 disc if not mistakeni saw his car beforeanywaywish him good luck with the brackets

haha...cheers monkey boy! evo 5 and above may also be able to fit. as the rotor hub thickness is also 45mm(same as mitsu twin port). same as lantis and most mazda models...

pimpin..why not just buy a set of vr4 twin pot and put it in? i did a bit of research..the caliper mount are about the same.u just need to cover one of the mount holes(on the caliper) with welding..and drill a new holes. the mounts are nearly the same.few mm difference only. it'll be cheaper than buying a set of 4pot caliper(and having the risk of not getting complete set like small pins missing).. and twin pot rotors.....

twin pot is good enough already. 4pot adds too much weight i think..haha...best solution would be fiat brembos...
