I do have a set of the RE Speed brackets that i bought years ago..

Alls you need then is FC hubs and FC disc if you thinking of going that way.. Worse case if you want to keep 4 stud - get some GSLE front hubs which are 4x114 and get some 15" wheels in 4 stud :)

I doubt it will fit the RX7 strut.

You can buy these from REsoeed in the States but Billy doesn't seem to work there now and the service is terrible I've heard.

I've got the dimensions/drawings for making these to suit RX2/RX3 and you can modify to suit your strut. Any good?

I think they're expensive.

Discs are plentiful. Calipers are easily available second hand too and you can buy rebuild kits.
The only part you really need is the bracket.

RESpeed used to do brackets for S3 RX7. Try and track some down on RX7club.com
