has anyone put these in a mx-3 yet?

Those are monsters.

i believe some people have had success in 323s or proteges with them, but i think finding the proper rotor was the hard part. are these in your possession or you just found a pic online?

no they are my friends calipers before he put them on, but i seen the same set online for sale and thought about buying them...

if they are cheap enough id say go for it. but i also wouldnt have my hopes too high on getting them to work without some major modifications.

Here is an interesting link..

I have a set ready to go in the MX, but have not installed them yet. I have been debating on Rotors and 4 vs 5 lug, and 15" wheels vs 16", and 17". and I just a long time to make decisions.

Some of those brackets look scary...

Edit: On another note I always though it would be cool to swap in these

would be a fair price for real Brembo calipers. you can find them for cheaper if you look hard

pics of your brackets josh? the fact your scared of the ones in the other threads leads my to believe you have come up with a better option?

Same question man, I've been on the fence of swapping brakes to the Milli/Subaru setup... I'm much more comfortable dumping money into a setup if the benefit is as great as this looks... I think you'd be more likely to over brake than under brake with these. You'd stop the wheels long before the car!

I believe the biggest issue with the MX-3 brakes (according to the MOCA Group) is not really stopping power as it is brake cooling. They ran some home projects that didn't succeed, trying to increase the airflow to cool the brakes... you know, custom piping, the works. There wasn't much space to work with though and life kinda happened, so they nixed it, I think.

Your car has Millenia booster right? I wonder how much difference it makes compared to stock mx-3 booster. I'm contemplating swapping over to Millenia but wonder if it's really worth the effort.
