Thank you for your comment....i work already in rear ITR sway bar and wheels 16x7 or 17x7, +50 offset (stock) 5x114.3, but the problem is caliper clearance. If you can provide me any info for wheels, please write.

you know the wheels with caliper clearance for non use the spacers?
i like Rays CE28N, Advan Kreuzer X, Prodrive GC07-C but i don´t know the caliper clearance. The Ef8, +50 stock offset, i want to conserve it!!!

i don't think that's a torn boot.. it looks almost like just brake fluid... dunno...

looks good. i wouldn't of done it myself, but great choice! it looks like those brakes would be great for the track and stuff.. plus, it's a genuine b series car... lucky...

Re: Spoon Calipers, 5 LUG Conversion, Power Steering IN EF8.....READY!!!! (-Mugen-)

very nice car. I had some bronze RAY's Volk SE37Ks and they were great. i say for caliper clearance, find a stock ITR wheel, try it for clearance, and go from there. as for the master cylinder, do a search. ive seen threads on that swap before.

for a sick car!!

also- would you mind giving the specifics of your 5-lug conversion? what all parts you used, and what machine work was done? thanks

I think the ITR master cylinder is the wrong one for your application b/c if has **** on it for the abs brakes but i may be wrong.
