Send a PM to 'Daniel'

He has developed a few different front brake variations using Mazda RX7 S4/5 4pot calipers and non-turbo Supra rotors (about 295mm). He's also do other variations with larger rotors and what not. Of the Porsche I believe he mentioned 928 S4 calipers would be the most suitable, but require thicker rotors. But best to send him a PM and have a chat, don't forget you'll also need to consider a large brake master cylinder.

Now that's all reasonably custom work, if you want exact kits however some places do sell kits. Performatek sell a Tarox 6pot conversion kit, RS Racing sells a budget upgrade kit that uses the stock calipers (which are already decent) and includes larger rotors, adaptors to fit, better pads and braided lines.

hello, i know the kit of rsracing and performatek, but, tarox kit is too expensive for me and rsracing i think is too expensive for using original brake calipers, for that price you maybe could get a pair of new front calipers from an alfa GTA...

I know i have to change the brake pump, but firstly i want to change the front calipers...

I will send a mp to daniel...Thanks!!!

I just installed the Group 2 front brake kit on a Milano. It's a very impressive kit and gets a thumbs up from me.

Ok, the ones I have done are -
1. MA71 Supra rotors (300mm x 22mm thick) with ser 4/5 (FC) RX7 calipers - this will fit (with some effort) in standard GTV6 15" wheels.
2. Ser 6 (FD) RX7 rotors (294mm x 22mm thick) with ser 4/5 (FC) RX7 calipers - this will fit in standard GTV6 15" wheels.

I'm currently working on a set of Skyline R32 GTR rotors (296mm x 32mm thick) and calipers which should be finished in the next month or so. They look like being 16" wheel or larger fit up.

Ultimately I would like to combine either E46 M3 rotors (324mm x 28mm thick) or R33 GTR rotors (324mm x 30mm thick) with Porsche 928 S4 calipers. These would fit my 16" wheels but only just, probably really require 17" wheels.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you want more info.

And, an importan question...what master cilinder we could install for the gta calipers??



Thanks to everybody
