They are actually there to hold the pads away from the disc.

Also, i would always be putting the pads in after putting the caliper on the disc.

FWIW i dont use them, just one more thing to screw up. Ive had one unclip and flick into the vents in my rotors.

[mikie]

hey.
just wated to do a quick progress pic and get some idea of what you guys think



still waiting on hubs to arrive, but im thinking: na z32 disc, fc3s callipers.
(a useless fact: one corona twin pot weighs more than both rx7 calipers combined.)

cheers mike.

Mikie,
Is this a ground control coil over kit with Eibach springs on xT132 Corona struts, with T3 adjustable strut tops?
Cheers,
Mitch.

I want those tops!!

What type ?

[pisso001]

Im wondering.. Ive got stock struts in my RT142 with bilstien inserts in them.. I want to run coilover springs so i can get some camber..

Do i need to cut down the strut etc in order to do this? Or can i just put the sleeve on etc?
Will this cause me any problems with ride hieght and bump and droop setups?

What a want to do is get another set of stock struts put the sleeve on get it all ready to go and just swap it all over in an afternoon..

I didnt put the shocks in so i dont know about spacers etc, id say they would have been spaced up though...

thanks,

Chris.

you got a good eye. thats spot on.

1. the sleves just slip over the strut tube, there are 2 types, weld on, and bolt on , you'll only need to shorten if your insert isn't stock length.

2. no idea, may depend on how low you go.

cant wait to get them in and check the camber/caster, the -tv camber rca should help too.

cheers Mike

Thanks for that.. I spose i should pull one of the shock out and see if its spaced up or not and maybe cut the struts down that much then not use the spacer when i put it all together? Will that give the right effect?

Thanks,

Chris.

Thank Mike,
I forgot to mention that those struts look like they are sitting on T3 RCA's as well...do I win a prize?! :-)

Had a quick search of this thread and could not see it here, so...

GZ20 and M/GA70 Brake MCs are identical... (All 3 are different to the JZA70 Brake MC)

Discovered recently when I found a GZ20 at my local wreckers and measured up the bolt pattern before purchasing...

[mikie]

MX83 also fit well. the line closest to the firewall is kinda in an awkward spot though. it will point out towards the plenum/carbs and will need a tight bend.


cheers Mike

The MX83 Brake MC looks very similar to the JZA70 Brake MC and has the rear brake line coming out on the same side...
