Hi guys, so the v8 is on hold at the minute as I wait for the fabricator to re open so that she can go down for manifolds and exhaust system but in the mean time I've been doing some jobs to keep the love ticking over...

So both rear calipers were seized on making pushing the car extremely difficult so for the time being I simply unbolted them but, in the front I have the rx7 calipers with braided lines and 750 master etc. And on the rear the car has a disc conversion, but wondering before I go and buy a pair of normal e30 calipers,,, is there an upgrade that would be worth looking into as I may aswel while I'm there?
Off another bmw perhaps? Car is still 4 stud and dont have a need to do 5 lug swap

Thanks in advance 8)

Touring calipers are a gnats cock bigger. A Z1 rear set up would be larger but A: impossible to find and B: be prepared to pay. WMS used to do a rear two pot kit but not sure if they still do or not. I did toy with making adaptors to fir a set of Wilwood two pots but never bothered in the end.
