^^ You may thank me ^^ Group: Admin Posts: 8,606 Member No.: 469 Joined: 3-October 05	No they might not! As we found out at the mini meet on Saturday, the AS200 and RS200 have different brakes, smaller callipers etc. Hence why 0SENSE changed his AS200 callipers in favour of RS200 callipers. The AS ones seemed to be smaller, and have a semi circle cut out in the middle. (with Lee Wilkys anyway) Unsure about the IS200. Might have changed halfway through production or something though. -------------------- Contacting me for parts

The guys in singapore mentioned this alright with regards the auto so i presumed it was the 4 speed as200 they were talking about... Mine for the record has "lexus" pads fitted as thats what i ordered Must be the fact that it's an RS200 Z tiptronic thats the difference -------------------- From Ireland...

IS300s seem to have the same as the RS200, all the AS200's ive seen have the smaller ones. -------------------- Nate - 99 RS200Z 6MT - Wellington NZ

Stock Group: VIP Member Posts: 70 Member No.: 6,118 Joined: 26-March 10	I am looking for a low profile aluminium caliper to replace the heavy RS200 cast iron unit. Any one know of a caliper that might be suitable? I am building my RS200 into a gravel spec rally car and need to fit 15" wheels due to rally tyre sizes available. (as well as reducing the unsprung weight of course)

^^ You may thank me ^^ Group: Admin Posts: 8,606 Member No.: 469 Joined: 3-October 05	Have a look into the Wilwood Dynalite range.
