    Right now they will have a 2 wheel kit but I know they are working on a 4 wheel kit. I'll know pricing as soon as StopTech releasing pricing to me.

    I know for sure it will fit a 15" and up. I have a set of 14" wheels I will test fit mine on once I receive me kit.

    Here's a little update guys

    Pricing is still TBD.

    The 1.8 BBK uses a 30-36 piston bore combination to work with the 1.8 OE Master Cylinder.
    The 1.8 Sport kits use a 36-38 piston bore combination, due to the larger rear Sport brakes and Master cylinder.

    Flagship kit: We will offer the ability to go up to the 1.8 Sport kit from any 1.6 or 1.8. This CAN include a Sport Master Cylinder, rear sport calipers, rear sport rotor, front StopTech BBK and SS lines and pads on all four corners. This kit has the deepest capability of all the BBKs we offer for NA/NB Miatas.
    1.8 Sport BBK (Rotor, Caliper, Lines, Bracket)
    1.8 Sport Master Cylinder (1.6 and 1.8 guys need this)
    1.8 Sport OE rear rotors (1.6 and 1.8 guys need this)
    1.8 Sport OE rear calipers (1.6 and 1.8 guys need this)
    StopTech rear SS brake lines
    Choice of Street ($) or Race pads ($$)

    For the 1.8 BBK we CAN include Rear OE calipers for a 1.6 to 1.8 BBK upgrade. This would not need a different Master cylinder. This kit maximizes stopping power on the 1.8 platform.
    1.8 BBK (Rotor, Caliper, Lines, Bracket)
    Optional 1.8 OE Rear Calipers (1.6 guys need this)
    Optional 1.8 rear Rotors (1.6 guys need this)
    StopTech rear SS brake lines
    Choice of Street ($) or Race pads ($$)

    What rotor diameter?

    - 280mm

    Could you also list link for pad size specs, compound choices.

    -Caliper is StopTech's ST42, so any pads made for this caliper can be purchased. However, StopTech will be recommending specific friction compounds based on application; street or race. The friction recommendations are based on test vehicle results and are designed to work with the piston sizing and master cylinder specified.

    Race Pad compounds based on FMSI# DR22. SR33 compound front. 309 compound rear.

    http://www.stoptech.com/racing/racin...ing-brake-pads

    Street performance/Sport Brake Pads - StopTech's 309 compound for Sport is already available in the OE Miata pad shapes, covering the rear of the kits. It will also be offered in the DR22 pad shape, developed specifically for the front of the Miata BBK.

    Pricing on the Stoptech BBK is here!!!

    What's nice about this kit is you can buy a full kit or piece it together.

    When you go to the Garage Star website you will see the first drop down. Sport and NonSport options. From there you can purchase a full kit or piece the kit by choosing your part and adding it to cart. For example if you have a 1994 Miata and you already have rear pads you can add the front BBK to the cart of you choose steel brake lines and a new master if needed. Once you added the parts you need the list of parts and total will be in your shopping cart. If you have any questions feel free to email or call us. sales@garagestar.com or 916-585-3137.

    Thanks again Ken. Pics won't do justice on how gorgeous this set-up is. Comes complete (calipers, rotors, pads, bracket, mounting bolts and brake lines) and weighs under 15 lbs.



    And here is the Caliper.........





    Now I need some time and motivation to install this baby lol.......

    @— mx54life — Did you choose the Sport or Non-sport option? Can you post a few measurements in millimeters? Stoptech doesn't have a wheel fitment template for the ST-42 caliper. What is the width of the calipers? What is the diameter of the rotors and are they the Sport or Non-sport rotors?

    This is the non-sport. I am waiting for the sports edition and my rears. I believe the calipers and the rotors are all the same dimension except that the sports have a bit bigger pistons.
    I will confirm it when they arrive.

    It's an impressive looking system but probably out of the price range of the average Miata owner.

    I have a set of Wilwood BBK and for less than $200 price difference I opted for the Stoptech calipers as they are far more well built imho. They also do not require a brake proportioning valve.
