I'm not 100% sure because I haven't looked into it myself, but I think the V6 626 calipers might work since MSP owners can use the V6 626 rotors and pads.

If you are looking at buying the calipers new though I don't know if the cost would be worth it, I would probably just go with the ProtegeGarage.com big brake kit.

Oh I wouldn't buy them new. I get them off a trashed MSP at a junkyard or something.

626 Calipers and rotors are the same, everything bolts up perfectly. I have the MSP calipers and rotors with pads made for a 626, calipers were about 60 a piece. rotors were free.

When I need new front rotors/pads (not soon, did pads last July and rotors in November) I'll definitely look into this and probably do it unless the prices for different "big brake" (relatively big at least) kits come down.

Mazda turbodiesel SMIC... check
Mazda 626 front brakes... check
Mazda EDM rear brakes... check
Mazda FS-DE motor precisely to the specs of all the other Proteges... check

Telling Callaway to cast their name into the manifold on a sub-par kit and laughing all the way to the bank while you sell off the remaining stock of Proteges before the Mazda3 comes out... PRICELESS
