not to many aussies on this board. In fact, not to many people in this section at all. Have you tried posting this on toymods? You are much more likely to get a response there.

You may have gotten rotors from an '87+ MR2. They put bigger rotors on those cars. The new fronts were similar in size to the old, but the backs are as big as the old fronts. You can use the '85 calipers with the larger rotors if you can get the mounting brackets off of an '87+ car (SC or NA). It helps a good bit, but I've never seen any hard data of how much it reduces stopping distance or fade. It's about the cheapest brake upgrade you can do.
