Brake upgrade

Post by 6G72TE28 »

Looking to upgrade the front brakes on my TE28. I would like to do is find something that will work with the original front struts as I have already invested in shortening them and installing coilovers. Is it possible to fit the larger Ae86 rotors to the TE hubsor can the AE hubs fit the TE struts? A bolt on caliper for this would be great, but not that hard to make a bracket to mount whatever caliper. The bigger the brake rotor the better, so if there is something bigger than the AE rotor that will work, I'm all for that and since this is a street cruiser, I don't necessarily need a vented rotor. Thanks for any assistance.

I am also looking into a brake upgrade as well although its for a TE51. So far what I have come up with is to use 4 piston fc3s rotors with mini cooper rotors redrilled. The only part holding me back is the bracket and I found it but it is in Australia http://www.ajps.com.au/parts/fc_brake_c ... apters.php . I am working with a buddy to see if he can make me the bracket but we shall see. It should be an awesome upgrade considering how good they worked on my old Turbo 2 and how much lighter the corollas are in comparison to the RX7. ;)

Anyone have any experience with the Aerospace street kit? Seems like a nice kit with new aluminum hubs, vented rotors, and 4 piston calipers with brackets?
