Thanks!
Sorry I wasn't clear. The '86-'91 RX-7 is the FC, the '83-'85 RX-7 is the FB. Because the car's owner wanted power steering, I found an FC to take the front suspension and steering from. Easier than finding an '85 RX-7 GSL-SE to get FB power steering from. Plus this allows bigger brakes now than I was going to do to the FB hubs, plus more wheel choices, so the brakes can go even bigger than what I'm doing.
I have no clue what the new front rotors are supposed to be for, I chose them by dimensions and got lucky. A Mercedes donated the Brembo calipers, a '96 Camaro donated the V6, and so on. Many donors for this one recipient.
This is turning into a bunch of things ( or details, maybe ) that noone has ever tried before. Or if they have, it isn't online. Anyway, it spells headaches for me.
