    Arrow caliper brackets

    I'm looking for some caliper brackets from a 94+ miata both front and rear. Im trying to do the 1.8 brake swap. i tried mazda heaven and there not sure if they have them. I live in plano and would hate to drive to fort worth for nothing.

    I have a set but I may be using them on my Se7en so they are not for sale. Gary always seems to have a few sets available.

    Because the stock 1.6 units do just fine for the street and even light autocross duty and replacement parts are cheap. I can lock up my RT-615's and engage ABS easily even with crap generic pads in my heavy 93LE with 1.6 brakes.

    Non-ABS 1.6L brakes suck nuts. The Amish probably have better brakes.

    Don't listen to Cosmos - he's a little loopy from driving around in an aluminum can.

    My 93LE will bruise your passengers chest... (don't ask) :p
    But I have 1.8's w/ABS.

    Sorry TeeJ, the only set I have right now is going on Barbara's '92 BnT.

    I promise you that no one could have been harder on brakes than me at 94whp. I never once had a complaint from my 1.6 brakes with hp+ at hallett in either direction, the msr 1.3, 1.7, or 3.1.
