It'll fit if you swap the spindle assembly too.
Use the Bj Protege front struts or machine the strut mounts to fit your struts.
You will have a 5 lug patern but you can swap in the early 4 lug BJ protege hubs and modify the 10.2" probe/mx6/626 rotors to fit as the 4 lug Protege rotors are 9.4" (I think)
There are many other options once you uograde to GE/GF/BJ spindles.
The 98+ 626 (GF) V6 uses 11.1" rotors. The mazdaspeed protege uses the same brakes. The 02-05 6 uses the same rotors but with stronger calipers and are a direct fit. The 06+ 6 uses 11.8" rotors and are a direct fit with the matching caliper-bracket set.
The Mazdaspeed 6 uses 12.6" brakes and is also a direct fit with the matching hardware.
All aftermarket kits for the 93-97 pr0be/mx6 the 93-02 626 99+ protege and all year 6's will fit too.
