    Default MX83 Cressida brake upgrade with factory 15" rims?

    Anyone know of any calipers that can work with the factory alloys? Am aware of BA/R33 caliper swaps but from what I remember the rims need to be swapped too.

    edit: ok so far it looks like there's no bigger calipers that could fit the factory rims. I'm more than happy to be corrected though. In the meantime, decided to splurge on dixcel z pads and rotors. This grandpa spec cressida is definitely going to see some kind of track time so the pads aren't completely overkill.

    Non turbo R33 or R34 twin piston calipers and Mazda MPV rotors. Can't remember the exact details but I ran these under stock rims on a couple of cressidas back in the day. Works great.
    Thought I might have had a write up on here but can't find it.
    There is no substitute for PUBIC inches

    Never late in an x8

    ahh crap. Already bought the dixcel pads and rotors. Arrived the other day and damn, they look REAL nice.

    i'll see if i can find your writeup, otherwise if you manage to find it let me know. might be interested in the future, depending on how well these pads perform.
