Did a search but couldnt find info on this.

People seem to use RX7 calipers with corrado discs. I have a set of 4 pot brembo calipers from an E38 i parted. Has anyone used these for an upgrade or are there serious fouling issues?

You could try searching some of the US forums. I don't think many on here have used those calipers as there are off the shelf kits available.

E38 Brembos are practically worthless as the pitch is miles off. IIRC somebody did supply a kit with a bit of angle iron and Ca 30 mm of washers / spacers :eek:
