Rotora Front/Rear BBK

For sale is a Front/Rear Rotora Big brake kit off my IS...I know this won't directly bolt onto a rx8 BUT you can get a bracket made to fit onto it...or maybe you can order one from Rotora and then bolt them onto your car...i dont know exactly how this is done BUT ITS POSSIBLE...i'm selling the brakes for cheap so either way it won't cost you much to have this bbk setup on your car. I dont really have the time to call up and ask...but if your interested then feel free to call these numbers for more info to fit them onto your car...

Albert @ TWS - (909) 468-1311 - you can ask him how much to make a bracket to fit onto your rx8.

or you can Call Rotora direct and ask if its possible to order a caliper bracket for the rx8 and change it.

Specs...

Front 6 Piston Caliper / 2-Piece 355x32 Rotor
Rear 4 Piston Caliper / 2-Piece 355x32 Rotor

Used for about 10k Miles...still in GREAT Conditon.





Retail...4850

Take them for only 2800

I don't think the 8 can use any aftermarket calipers on the rears, without disabling the hand brake. Anyone know for sure?

yes it can be done and I've seen a few JDM tuner done it to the rx8. Just like the NSX, the rx8 use cable for the hand brake, so an aftermarket caliper will disable the hand brake, so what they do is they'll put a big caliper on along with a small caliper for hand brake, usually the stock one but in some case, brake company have smaller hand brake calipers, Stoptech has one. Unlike the 350z,evo and sti, they used brake drum for the rear, so they'll have no problem getting their caliper upgrade.
