Miata Front Brake Conversion
Vented front brakes are a very common and worthwhile upgrade for a DeLorean of any power level. However, the current offering uses proprietary rotors and calipers, with expensive replacements. Servicing the rotor also calls for removing the wheel bearing.
This is a solution developed by LSDelorean that allows any NA/NB Mazda Miata brake rotor and caliper to bolt directly to the DeLorean. No invasive modifications required, this simply bolts on. You can use stock replacement calipers and rotors, or upsized big brake kits with large rotors and multi piston calipers. The limit is your wheel size!
Retains use of the stock angle drive.
Kit includes:
-
Brackets, spacers, hubs/bearings, dust caps, hub-centric rings, brake lines, and hardware.

-
2x 1.8L Mazda Miata Front Calipers
-
1x 1.8L Mazda Miata Front Brake pads
