Stoppers!

Had seen a few FC RX7 brake caliper to AE86 strut adaptor kits around, mainly in Japan on Yahoo auctions. I liked the idea of a compact 4 spot alloy caliper and larger vented rotor for the front of the Sprinter, so started investigating getting a set of the adaptor plates machined up. As it happens a fellow AE86 owner I knew through the forums had a set he purchased in Japan, he had changed his plans for his brake set-up, so I snapped them up! The kit uses EG Civic rotors which are slighty larger diameter than the AE86 units but much beefier and thicker - should be able to handle the heat of track work much better.
