    All were saying is, it might not be as cheap as you would think as opposed to going the ek9/itr swap....and again, its been proven once.. track/hill climb, remember, its also the brake pad u use that is a major factor to the stopping power, anything that needs custom fabrication is gonna be costly, weather its cnc milling, or custom weld job thats designed to with stand enormousness brake pressure

    Its just less headaches... for the trouble ur goin through, using rx7 brakes is pretty pointless on a ek, as u pointed out earlier, the 282mm ek9/itr/crv brakes are infact designed to stop a 1500kg car, not 1000kg

    Unless the cars gonna b a stripped out track car with more than 200kw, than id consider using this method, if it was cheaper than wilwood/spoon setup over the dc2r setup

    As I said" if the Rx7 setup is going to be too costly. I will go for the ek9/itr/crv brakes setup. Take a guess how much do you think going to cost me for the Rx7 brake setup in a brake performance engineering shop. Remind you one think, this setup is going to be ADR approve. I did think about second hand spoon calipers, but is it ADR approve. Can someone confirm that.
