Hey Aaron,
Where you finding the mazda brake pictures from ??
The upgrade I have been looking at is using 330mm Mustang Cobra 069 rotors which
have an overall height of 45mm against 45.5mm original. Calipers will then be either
PBR or PBR sport twinspot. This does involve changing to 5 stud and machining the
inside hub hole 1mm larger but will open up mag selection quite a bit. I bought 2
Astina front V6 hubs for $100, the pbr slotted rotors are roughly $135 each, VT PBR
calipers off ebay $75 and then hopefully when I am ready have brackets made up
for around $300-400 which makes for a fairly cheap upgrade but none of this has
been tested yet.
When I do if you need either Astina calipers or hubs (unlikely as FWD) let me know.

Mal
p.s would love some pics of the rear still wouldn't mind upgrading to MX5 SP rears at
276mm
