R32 GTS-T 28mm caliper over 32mm disc?

im sure if you made up a stepped bracket there would be a few people (especially me) that would want to do the same thing and buy the bracket...

If it worked out to be a neat and robust solution with a single-plane mount, then doing a batch would certainly make sense.

Unfortunately I think it will end up being quite a heavy and over-engineered bracket to deal with the extra moment stresses on the step, and take a lot of time to get it right.

That's not the stuff 'kits' are made of

if you moved the disc out then wouldnt that fuck aroudn with wheel offseet etc? also need new adaptors for the spacer and stuff.

I've spaced the disc out in the pics above just to simulate the position of the low profile 'premium' falcon rotors.

They have 20mm less 'height' and therefore would place the disc in the position above, without affecting offset.

i have been thinging about this (after dori did it) i dunno how much better braking you would get etc, but it would be cheaper than redoing the whole project again with upsized calipers.

Who knows what the results would be if you just slap something like this on with the factory celica booster, m/c, bias, and rear drums?

I am fitting a full skyline setup, including bias valve and rear calipers, and using the GA70 1" M/C and booster which should be comparable to the skyline stuff. That should give a nicely balanced system with plenty of bite

my approach was to investigate the use of the ra60 strut and deal with the camber issues that this invokes (although it possibly fixes itself by using the KE70 cross member or even the ra60 cross member which both appear to be slightly wider with their respective control arms used than a standard ra28/3/40 setup(but the ra60 setup has slightly wider spacings on the top of the struts so that is another issue to deal with if that path was taken) ).
The caliper mounting point to mount the r33 caliper is then just a spacer to mate with the 28mm x 298mm falcon rotor (all of this is using an ms65 hub so it depends if your custom hub is similar in dimensions to the 65 hub).
food for thought.

Hi, did any 1 end up using the 296mm r33 rotors with the r33 calipers on MS65 hubs and XT130 corona struts? If any body has the brackets or templates can they send some info?

Linden, I've tried PMing you about big mats conversion but your messages are full

Have you mounted the rotor yet? The hub outer diameter will have to be turned down to fit the rotor over the hub. The other option is to fit it to the back of the hub.

I have a couple of the brackets left if you need them.
