I have increased the front brakes to 300mm using Gh mazda6 calipers, renault scenic 300mm rotors, hubcentric rings (od=60.8mm to id=54.9mm - 7mm thick, 2mm spacer between caliper and stub assy.
Holding the pedal down stops the master cylinder draining while lines are undone. ![]() The rings sort out the hub center bore differences. ![]() Shown here with rotor on. ![]() And finally job complete. ![]() |

Bump on an old thread. Any idea if the mounting points are the same for the regular Mazda6 vs the 6MPS calipers? Saw a thread where someone had fitted Evo Brembos to their MPS with relatively minor modifications. Maybe possible for the 323? haha

Don't use Evo calipers - it will limit your wheel choice massively as the calipers are stupidly large.

Having said that, not something I'd really do, but I'm a curious soul and I like to see where cross-compatibility goes. |

MPS6 or speed6 as it's called in the US brakes do have exactly the same mounting points as the regular mazda6 so yes they will work.

![]() IIRC the MPS has a big single piston but the standard 6 are a smaller twin, someone correct me if I'm wrong. |

Both single piston calipers,
MPS6 is a bigger piston, and 320mm rotor. Mazda6 GH & GG wagon smaller pistiom then the 6mps but 299mm rotor Mazda 6 GG non wagon same piston as the wagon but 276mm rotor i think they are.

Ahh, I wondered why there were two sizes for the GG 6.
