allright well i am back from iraq and i have money burning a hole in my pocket. i have been researching the stoptech and wilwood and i was just wondering what everybody's opinions are. i would like all 4 wheels for the show aspect and i am pretty sure wilwood is the only company who makes all 4 wheels.
so opinions please. plus i need a decent place to buy them since i was abt to get a sponsorship but i had to go to iraq instead and i lost all my sponsors for this year beacuse i will not be ready for the min number of shows. anyway just a way for me to say hello again and get some assistance.

RR-Racing has a pretty cool 12" setup for the front that won't cost you an arm and a leg: http://www.rr-racing.com/bigbrakes.htm Add some matching stock size Brembos for the rear and you would have a nice setup.

Yes. A cool combo would be to get the RR-Racing front kit with the slotted option, and these for the rear: http://www.tirerack.com/brakes/brakes.jsp?&make=PowerSlot&model=Power+Slot+Rotor&group=Power+Slot+Rotor&autoMake=Mazda&autoModel=Protege+5&autoYear=2003&autoModClar=&perfCode=S

*Edit: my bad, they're Power Slot's not Brembos

Peep these from Brembo, they are far superior to the Stoptech Brakes. Chris Tindol of Tindol Motorsports runs them on his 6's and Protege in the SWC series. The first picture is the new brakes from Brembo and the 2nd are the old model. He is working on a package deal for our members.

In that case, Wilwood may be the best answer for all four.

I'm under my Pros quite a bit, but I can't tell from these shots - Are we looking at both front and rear? (man those are purdy (thumb) )

All 4 wheels. Looks like I am getting them for all 3 of our Mazda's.
