Its been a little while since I updated this. I've got a LSD now, along with Tein Flex coilovers, oil cooler, and NT-01s in 225 on the rear. No more wheelspin in 2nd!
Anyways got more goodies for the Miata. Now I can stop, thanks to my friend Miguel at Wilwood! Wilwood 4-piston "big brake" kit for the Miata. Using the "E" pads and standard rotors. These definately are not enough for a V8 Miata. ![]() MUCH larger. ![]() Caliper mounted up. ![]() Back shot of caliper to show mounting. Yeah my balljoints are kinda sad, balljoints & bushings are next on my list. You have to shim the calipers to get them centered on the rotor for equal pad wear. I only had to use one of the shims per bolt, where the caliper bolts to the supplied bracket. ![]() The only real issue I ran into was that the Rotas I run wouldn't clear the caliper. So I used a set of 5mm spacers on the front, problem solved. ![]() The car stops AWESOME now. It doesn't take much to lock up the front with the little 615k's, with the NT-01s it should be perfect.
