I used the original PR5 set. they are just a bit to short, so they wont snap ointo the strut tower. I zip tied them for now but that wont last! I need a real answer. I have pics...zill post them soon.

yeah same issue... only I'm about 1.5 inches +/- I am currently looking for a part number that will fit the new caliper and snap into the strut bracket. If anyone has an answer let me know. Im grateful to this forum, my car stops on a dime!

Hey Guys-n-Gals..... So I just installed the front brake upgrade. I used 07 MAzda 6i parts. Centric Brand Semi loaded Calipers, Centric Posi-quiet Pads, and Centric Standard Rotors. Everything fot nicely as described in the "HOW-TO" except one thing..the brake hose. The hose bolts up to...

OK Guys/GAls I have installed the "Big-Brake" set up, using 2007 Mazda 6i parts. I was able to get all Centric stuff,Semi-Loaded Calipers, Standard Rotors with Posi-Quiet Pads, got a decent price too. $196.44 ...Installed! Got a problem though..The brake hose isn't long enough to fit back into...

DUH! CR3 Motorsports is a place to start! :-)

good advice....yeah i likely need something stronger than a rubber brake hose I guess. thanks for the reply... So where is the best place to pick up a set of steel brake lines? Protege Garage??

Hey fellas- I have ordered Brake upgrade for my PR5. I went with Centric Brand Calipers, Rotors and Pads, (their Premium Line) I ordered 2007 Mazda 6i with the 11.8 inch rotors. The question is: What about the brake hoses? will I have to get new ones to properly fit the new Calipers?? Or are...

I agree with PCB regarding Crank Sensor. Hook up scan tool (if you bought one that reads live data)and turn the key look for the PID "RPM" if you don't have 250-500+ at cranking you've got a problem with crank sensor and / or Cam position sensor. Crank sensor is hard to get to. the wire come...

162,550 never had an issue....other than maintenance.

Looks Great! I like the wider stance

I manufactured my own set of adjustable front links. I ordered all parts online. Threaded rod, threaded ball/socket joints, locknuts, etc.. I made sure to buy left hand thread for the top & right hand thread for the bottom so they couldn't loosen under normal wear and tear. The finished product...

there is a factory diagram available through www.shopkey5.com , it shows all connector views and placements. you have to subscribe though, or work at a shop that does. If I were you, i go to the bone yard and find a car that isn't ripped to shreds and just go at it! start unplugging everything...

Sweet! That's my plan right there. It looks great! It look great with the painted caliper too!

Some of these websites(eBay, amazon, etc..) are a PITA , they only want to sell caliper. Then you have to order Caliper Bracket separately. Then some say , semi-loaded or fully loaded...some have pads...some have this some have that,....others have nothing!.... OK and does it matter what engine...

OK! NICE! That's what I'm looking for..a little confirmation from experience. Thank You. So both fit. Since I'm back to running on a 16 inch rim, their is only one choice. I found Calipers w/ Brackets in a number of places; Amazon, Ebay, Local Parts stores, Internet wholesalers.... Where did...
