Braking

[Domane007]

Any suggestions on what sites there are that might have some, or any particular size I should be lookin for, I've seen Hawk pads seem good and I've seen Brembo rotors on e-bay for pretty cheap, I don't think they are the real thing, any experience with this or suggesions on rotors pads calipers. I got some ideas with Powerslot rotors maybe w/ some Hawk pads but need help w/ rotor size maybe and calipers for my 03' MP5,Thanx everyone. (thumb)

I have been on this thought pattern as well to get ready for spring runs but I was thinking about a different route to go. The hubs for the Mazda Millenia at least up to 99 are the same size as those for the P5. The rotors on the otherhand are of a different size. I am thinking about using the rotors and dual piston calipers of the millenia on the P5. They would fit 15 inch and larger wheels. Tell me what you think. I hope you are not thinking I am jacking your thread but doing the same thing thought we could get ideas.

I got my Brembo's on eBay, and they are definitely the real thing. I got them from Nights Auto, they are somewhere near Toronto and the rotors got to me really quickly (not too surprising considering I can get to Toronto in under 3 hours, but anyway they were great to deal with from my experience.

http://stores.ebay.com/Nights-Auto-Parts-Store <-- here is a link to their eBay store.

Here's a link to the actual auction, I think with shipping it was like 220 for all four rotors. I am amazed at the quality of the rotors. I'm sure they are real brembo because they were in brembo boxes and on the edge of the rotor have the brembo logo machined in. Now if only I could find the time to hit the rear rotors with PB Blaster so that I could get them off.

OT but I've tried. I even tried my 16oz hammer.. for hours. It hurt me a lot and did nothing in the end. These are original rear rotors on a car that has seen a Cape Cod winter, a NW Connecticut winter, and a Rochester, NY (great lakes) winter... @ 58k miles now too.

I also bought my rotors from that ebay seller. I bought their generic cross drilled rotors and have been pretty happy with them. At the same time I got Axxis MetalMaster front pads and some generic rear pads, all pads and rotors shipped for like $240.

So the rotors and calipers off the Millenia would go on the P5 without requiring modification? Did I understand that right? Brakes are on my to-do list as well.

I have read that the front rotors from the 626 is the same as those on the msp. So if you wanted bigger rotors you could go that route. If you really want to upgrade the calipers Wilwood has a kit. Don't forget your wallet though cuz they are some dough.

Their rims do, so the brakes should too...Rogue Pro5 has a set as his auto-x rims...they're pretty damn lite actually. Just a side note...lol

Like someone just said I believe the 626/Millenia/MSP all have the same rotor. I know the Millenia also has dual piston calipers and I would assume the MSP does as well. Not sure how this will all bult up but the hub size is definitely the same.

But are they direct bolt ons? What year Millenia?

 

[Domane007]

Hey I was thinking if a Mellenia and 626 or whatever else fits a MP5 and are bigger what if you look for a Brembo rotor for a 626/Mellenia which are bigger to go on a MP5, what do you think ?
