Yeah, not a bolt on part for sure... If so we would have been doing it for years now.

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.
