Evo master's share the same mounting flange also, and have even larger options then the 929.
Just recently got on a set of 06 mazda 6 front calipers and rotors. So will a good set of rotors and pads for the rear be enough? Planning to autoX this year sometime.

I just picked up a 2003 protege5, and I'm looking into the mz6 brake swap front and rear, and swapping of all my performance goodies over from my es. I would to do like the ms6 swap, but I don't want to have to run 17's or 18's in the winter. A lot of useful information in this thread. I'll post my findings after I attempt it.
The Mz6 rear brakes are a bit of a pain due to the bleed screw being on the wrong side and the e-brake cable not bolting up. People have gotten them to work but it is not a straight bolt on. Look at late model 626 rear brakes; they may be an easier install and I'm pretty sure that they are the same size as the MSP and Ms6 rears. 11" iirc.

I just flipped the Left caliper to the right side and then the bleeder is in the correct location.
^True. What about the e-brake though? Mz6 rear are a little more work for no gain over the 626 rears. Mz6 will work, but why bother?
Who actually has 626 rears? I tried this last week and it didn't fit.
Bumping and updating this thread as I have found a good rear solution for those that don't want to do the crazy ebrake setup for MZ6 brakes: 99+ 626 rear brakes
I've been researching all morning and found a bunch of Probe guys do this swap. They already know about the P5/MZ6/MS6 swaps and those all bolt up to a Probe, as do the 626 brakes, so they should also be a direct swap for us! They are the same diameter as the MSP/MZ6 rear brakes, but bolt in and are way cheaper!
I already have a set of 07 MZ6 front brakes, and will be finding some 99+ 626 rears to complete my OEM BBK. Very Excite!
