sweet! thanks for the heads up! i'll check it out. im still kinda all about the powder coated look though. its not so much about "the deal".

question.does anyone in here know if the msp and the 6 brakes also fit the mazda3???

 

[Sport23]

I don't think that anyone has made msp or 6 brakes work on a mazda3. You can look into mazdaspeed3 brakes or volvo (s40?)

Rotors and pads are on it's way to my garage
Unfortunately just to be stored until I can get my hands on some calipers and new 17" winter tires.

EDIT: They have arrived. Except from the front Monroe pads they are from Raybestos, have anybody tried out those?

Why dont the M6 calipers work on a 4lug?
I know about rotors that the bolt pattern is different, but whats the difference with the calipers?

 

[Wagonbacker9]

try finding a rotor in the correct size for a 4 lug.

the caliper mount may be different too, but one problem at a time ....

 

[Vocko]

I have a 280mm (11" rotor) for 4 lug

 

[Wagonbacker9]

then the caliper bracket mounting points are your next hurdle?

 

[Vocko]

Yes. I want to get informed as much as possible before begining any work, cause I need the car on a daily basis and want to do the conversion in a day.

 

[rooster]

the caliper for the 2.0l is the exact same as for the protege5.

however the rotor is a big problem. it's not just that it's 4 bolt. the depth of the rotor would also make a difference in it lining up.

MX5 NB FL rotors wont work?
I've got other options, but I'll have to go and measure.

I like the way you are thinking! I've been wondering this all myself too. I wish I still has a buddy w/ a MSP or an 01-03ES around to check the parts out...

Why don't you convert your car to 5-bolt?

 

[Vocko]

Too little Mazdas around and to expensive (look at my location). 97% 323 here are 4 lug.

The same situation here. That's why I often import parts from America.
I haven't checked it out, but can't you use 626/MX-6 parts to convert a 323 to 5 lug?? (I'm curious about this question myself)

 

[Vocko]

There's also 323F BA v6 which is 5 lug. But I never thought about that, too much to do and in the end I'll have parts from 20years of Mazdas

I need the car everyday so if there's too much fiddling around it, i'll just leave it the way it is and get better rotors and pads.

You should have the 5 lug protege es or protege5 in Serbia. The Familia platform was a world chasis wasn't it?? base models were 4 lug, midline and up were 5 lug

Only the top model - 323F Sport (equivalent of Protege5 in US) - had 5lug in Europe, all other were 4 lug, unfortunatly for us. So they are very rare.
Here in Belgrade I can count on fingers of one hand 5 lug 323 models - two are P5 (white and red), one is MSP (all three imported from the US) and there are two 323F Sport (green and blue) models. I suppose there are a few more, but these are the ones I personally saw.
