Brake Upgrades?

Question time...

Has anyone made/used/worked out a cost effective brake upgrade for the BG/BA platform?

I've managed to establish that MX-5 SP discs do in fact slot straight onto our 4-stud hubs, and offer a larger diameter of 270mm against the stock 257mm

Not much in measure but a significant move in rotational braking terms.

I suspect the stock BA calipers could be used, but regular MX5 ones aren't able to hande the thicker disc, mounts would obviously need to change.

I haven't got a MX5 caliper bracket to look at to see if its different to a stock BA caliper bracket, etc....

But me thinks there's an exercise about to happen.

Thoughts?

A.
