The front will, but you need the calipers too man, you can't get just the rotors.

**bmxfuel007** · 2-16-09, 12:28

yes, but ONLY if you have the corresponding year's calipers. they won't fit the stock calipers

And the brackets as well. The brackets set the caliper at a certain distance from the hub and determine how big a rotor you can fit.

Besides the mazda6 calipers wont fit the mx6 bracket.

Hi guys, I cant see any of the pics in the opening thread, on IE or firefox.

I need a pic of the bracket that is needed to go with the caliper URGENT as i've found a cheap pair and want to get this done.

Can someone please post a pic of what I need or PM me. Thanks

You just need the bracket that corresponds with the caliper, it looks a lot like the stock bracket but bigger.

Got a question, I have 17" rims and stock calipers. I can get hold of a pair of 2003 Mazda 6 calipers from a 2.0 Diesel (150ps) for $75.

Question is, will these only take the 11.1" rotors or can I go bigger?

I can get all 4 calipers for $100 but i'm not clued up on wether the rears fit ok and the e-brake will work.

I've tried reading thru the thread but its frying my brain a bit.

Any help is appreciated.

It's a good time to bump this. I am going to a huge you-pull-it yard tomorrow with my brother and I am going to see if I can find a set of front brake calipers off a new mazda. I'll let you guys know what I find (if anything).

2004-2009 Mazda3's with a 2.3 liter motor all used an 11.8" front rotor so I might give them a shot. I fit my 16" wheels onto my 09 mazda3 hatch so they should clear the wheels when they're on my mx6.
2006-2008 Mazda5's with a 2.3 liter also use an 11.8" front rotor.

I have the 2003 Mazda6 set up on mine right now.The 11.1" rotors and all, and although I did not actually try them with the stockers, 15's, I am very sure they would not fit.

Bah, I've got 17's, and I really want the MS ones now, to really fill my wheels up... Ugh, haha.

**Chefsp0t** · 5-17-09, 15:16

My 16 inch wheels fit onto my mazda3 which has the 11.8 inch rotors. They should clear just fine on my mx6 too.

I hate to question the relevance of this to this particular thread, buuuut....

But I ran across a 2003 Mazda6 in the jy not too long ago, and I'm running those brakes now.

I know this may be a stupid question, but what happens if you run this all without the little clip things inside the calipers? The little thing that comes out with the pads, almost looks u-shaped, and goes to both pads. I'd take a picture, but it'd be more of a what isn't here picture..

Those are silencers from what I can tell.

How does it bolt up though? Bolt on, no modification?
