I believe there's a BB member in FL that has them in a very nicely done MX. Can't remember name though, might be searchable through his car domain site.

Thanks for the links...
I would like to get big brakes... but I can't bring myself to paying $1500 for them.
I assume that if you get ones that are 13" or so, that you can't put your stock wheels back on ever... Hmmm.

Honestly, i find my PBR ULX Pads and Brembo rotors do a kickass job at stopping the car. After i got them done (with new lines as well), i was braking for a yellow light and not only did I locked all 4 up, but they all smoked. I hade a huge cloud of white smoke surrounding me at a busy intersection, I don't think I was so embarassed for making a huge scene for just a yellow light before.

cant go wrong with bigger brakes but 13" is definitely too big on mx3, not saying it would be bad, if you got $$ go ahead and do it, but 13" brakes will stop most 3700+ cars like my Charger very good

Big brakes are pointless unless you have an extremley overpowered engine.
Dave lasiers(sp) had 480 Hp(if I remember) and he used a stock brake setup.
Also, More weight turning @ the wheels causes more power loss.
Unless you run on a road course, your wasting your money.
Also, I was watching a show on SPEED a few months back. They did a BB setup on an RSX and actually lost 2-3 HP @ the wheels, but gained it back on the road course in the corners, and their time never changed from the original stock setup.
