Brakes were worse on the FB, it was a base model with the drum rears. Couldn't even put any of my 14's from the AE86 on the FB either, stinkin' weird ass bolt pattern.
OH JESUS CHRIST YES! if we are comparing the ae86 to the SA22, the AE86 was a GOD to the shitty stock form of the 1st gen rx7...12a was a horrid ..horrid motor. Some fan boys like to argue its a good engine compaired to the 13b.... and those brakes and hubs... I like the STYLING of the 1st gen rx7...but other than that id pick a AE86 or even a Fiat for that matter.

BTW other japanese sports cars iv driven off the top of my head from that era was the 300zx, MR2, FC3S, celica/supra, skyline, fairlady 280zx, starion, lancer GSR uhh...crx and cressida i guess if you count those......a few hondas and other econoboxes that were shit.
