    Which Brakes are you going to be doing... the larger brakes from a later Miata or someone's big brake kit? I would be interested. I think I am going to try and change the struts / springs on mine Saturday.

    I thought it had to be atleast 15" for the big brakes to fit and even then they had to have a certain offset to be able to fit.
    Blah blah blah!

    The "big" brake that I'm installing on white, a '93 is the brake swap off of a '94 to '97. They will fit 100% positive.
