Big Brakes

So with more than doubling the power with the V8, its time to upgrade the brakes too.
I went with a four wheel big brake kit from Flyin' Miata. It uses new larger front rotors and four piston calipers from Wilwood and new larger rear rotors from PowerSlot. Also new braided brake hoses, mounting hardware, pads, and a rear brake bias valve are included in the kit.

Kit:


New front versus old. Just a little larger...


Rear caliper relocation bracket installed for the larger rotor.


New rear rotor and stock caliper installed.


Front rotor assembled with safety wire.


Front rotor and caliper assembly installed.


Now with the bigger brakes the stock wheels will no longer fit. I will remedy this problem next...
