Front Hub Options

Postby Lurkin » Sun Feb 26, 2012 12:14 am

Plan is to build an ae71 project. Trying to plan/ buy the parts ahead of the car, so they can be swapped in asap after purchasing it.

Trying to decide on hub/brake combinations at the moment.

Based on forum advice, purchased s5 rx7 calipers. Original plan was:
ae86 strut + hub, AJPS caliper adaptor, AJPS rotors, s5 rx7 calipers.

However, the seller was a legend and threw in the rx7 hubs and rotors with the sale.

Wondering:

- where can I get information on the dimensions of the hubs for both the s5 rx7 hubs and the ae71 hubs? have tried googling for the last hour or so unsuccessfully.

It would be great to know this because.. if the rx7 hubs could be fitted (haven't purchased any other suspension parts yet.. was hoping to use more of the ae71 stuff if possible to keep costs down) it would save $$ on adapters and ae86 tax

-also interested in similar information comparing ae86 to ae71 hubs. Have read information on this, they seem pretty similar. if the fitment was the same, then hypothetically the AJPS adaptors will also fit ae71 hubs, thus could use ae71 struts and hubs avoiding $$ on ae86 tax..

I'll also note that RA40 struts have been suggested as they have an adaptor fromfactory. Any ideas on how I can find out information on their fitment, i.e. whether a new adaptor would be required here or whether the rx7 calipers could be fitted directly?
