    Sourcing NB Sport Brake Calipers...?

    I'm trying to source NB Sport Brake / Mazdaspeed MX5 New or Remanufactured Rear Calipers, Rotors, Pads, and Brackets.

    Part numbers, positive experiences with different manufacturers, vendors, etc, all are appreciated.

    I have a quote of $500 for them... and think I can do much better for considerably less.

    I'd prefer natural finish, not red or black powdercoat for the calipers, if I can help it.

    Thank you all,

    -Matt

    I would go for a used setup and rebuild them myself. Quality rebuild kits are not expensive, and you will be sure that you have OEM parts and properly executed maintenance.

    Do not forget the MC/Servo combo, and the fact that brake lines are slightly different length in Sport brakes.

    Harry is right. I have seen sport brakes (all 4 calipers) go for $175 local, used. Rebuilding calipers is pretty easy. +1 on the sport brake master and servo.

    Have a nice clean Master and Servo setup?

    I will probably reach out to TreasureCoast on Monday, if they'll accept my 1.6 stuff as cores...

    I only need the Rear Sport brakes, I have Stoptech ST42's for the fronts, but want to retain a functional parking brake.
