Go git yerself a brakeline bending tool from NAPA and be done with it!'90 AWD Protege, full GTR drivetrain swap, ~320 whp daily driver, RIP, and
'90 AWD Protege, yet another GTR swap, Open class rallycar with a Toyota GT4 gearbox swap, thus crossing the line between hobby and mental illness. And a Brabus E55 K8, removing all doubt.

dont be scared of it, i did it by hand cause its so simple. there are two brake lines that go into the MC, one screws right in without bending. the other looks like it fits but the threads are a different size. so what u gotta do is get the 90* fitting and banjo bolt that screw into the MC (all stock parts on the 929)and put them on facing down. Now all u gotta do is take the brake line with two hands and twist it so instead on going into the MC horizontaly it goes into the banjo bolt verticly. You really only twist it 90 degrees, not even much bending."See that car, in the 80's that car was deadly." Random man to his son while passing the GTX in a parking lot

The Myth is that you can modify front spindles of the BF 323 to accept the rear hub part of 90-ish RX7. Vice versa if you want rear 4 pistons. Boom, now you have 5 lug hubs, then you make a bracket or drill factory spindles out to accept 4 piston calipers. I think you can still use Gallant rotors if you dont go 5 lug. My reccomendation is to stick to the earlier parts. cheaper and easier to find. Rebuilt 4 piston calipersare about $45 each at advance auto.

quick question, what year of Galant rotor should i be looking for?
also, will the Escort GT caliper directly bolt onto the knickle without any bridge/modification? as well as the front break lines?
thanks!
So this will push the wheels out 6mm?

To update! The yahoo group has the information on the database.
Now is it at all possible to use the GTX calipers? I'll upgrade the calipers in the future, I just have more pressing things to spend my money on and I'm replacing the front bearings anyways.
