Those wont fit... Sorry.
Never say they wont fit. Anybody who is creative enough and determined enough can make them fit.

I dont know bout you but $ 580 still sounds good to me. I'm not looking to haul my car down to a stop from 180 mph , just to improve...

Re: 12 inch big brake kit

bigger rotor = more mechanical advantage = less pressure needed = bigger caliper not needed Bochek Actually, its as follows: bigger rotor = more unsprung weight = MORE pressure needed to stop car = bigger rotor wont do anything = you will take LONGER to stop if you dont upgrade to bigger calipers. ...

Re: 12 inch big brake kit

The kit will include a 12 inch rotor and a caliper relocation bracket for around $580 + shipping. :D Caliper relocation bracket? So it will use the stock caliper? If so, why bother? If all you want is a bigger rotor you can use the Miata rotor IIRC. If there is a new bigger caliper in the mix then ...

guaranteed to pass

If you go down to your local auto parts store and pick up a bottle of Guaranteed to pass. It works wonders. brought my gross polluting v-8 s-10 down to well under the max limits. Which is amazing since the readings were triple the max limit. I swear by the stuff !!

Rear disk and rear hub a tight fit.

It seems that my Brembo rotors are a tight fit (brass mallet required) onto the center of the rear hub. Is this normal or do I need to break out the grinder.

it would be easier to swap a 4

If you think a six in a MX-3 is tight, dang it's tight in a P5 I believe they even had to modify the frame rail. I was comparing my MX-3 and P5 and looks like the radiator would have to be moved forward about 1 1/2". And the frame rail would have to be notched . Not to mention custom mounts , a...
