Re: My first gen rx7 project
Just make sure that all your selected parts are shipped from the same warehouse. This will keep the shipping cost down.

Re: My first gen rx7 project
What year is your rx7? Just asking because the US has different brake specs compared the UK. We can advise on what to order.
It's real easy to get it wrong and end up with something that doesn't fit. I've done it before and that was just a mirror switch!
I have a pair of front discs that were sold to me as S3 parts. Turns out that they were originally ordered from the US as 84/85 12a parts. But the US spec for that disc is 4x110 pcd (UK S1/S2) combined with the larger outer wheel bearing (UK S3). So totally useless here!
