Tried looking at the section, but no luck

Are there any BIGGER calipers/rotors that would bolt on to Mazda3 from other Mazda models Speed3/6 or CX7/9?

The speed 3 caliper and rotor should fit with the right caliper bracket.

Really. That would be a nice stealthy upgreade.

Yeah, but I'd imagine I'd be hard to find, seeing as though most Speed3 owners haven't fully upgraded their brakes to a BBK setup.

i wonder if the master cylinder is any different between the speed and regular 3?

I compared them, the ms3 has a bigger reservoir.

uh... go half on a big brake kit for my MS3 and I'll give you mine?

with larger front brakes im sure the braking bias is different as well.

Sounds like no one tried diff setups yet. EPC shows that Speed3 and 3 knuckles are the same, so should be a direct bolt on.

I'll have to compare with buddies Speed3, see how big those calipers are, any idea if they are single or twin piston?

 

[Oricle]

single piston floating caliper just like the regular 3

We are actually working on a proper upgrade for all mazda3 / speed3...

Probably using the speed3 rotor with wilwood 4 piston will be the most cost effective way to go, but you will need some deep dish rimzzz

I'd be interested in those calipers for my Speed3.

Or a non-$1000 big brake kit *cough hint cough*
