    Upgrade Front Brakes

    I need to know what do I need to install the MX3/EGT/Protege LX front rotors and calipers.

    I noticed that the calipers 13V22 found on the Protege DX have the same casting as the MX3/EGT/Protege LX which are 14V22. I will be using the 14V22 for my swap since it has a larger piston.

    I know I need to replace the steering knuckle(where the caliper is held by) in order for the caliper to clear the 10.12"rotors (MX3/EGT/Protege LX). My big question is which steering knuckle do I need to use without replacing anything else on the swap. I called Mazda and they told me that the Protege LX and MX3 steering knuckle have different part numbers, what's the difference?

    Has anyone done this?

    Thanks.

    I didn't even know the LX front brakes were different. They are?

        Can you take some pics of both LX and DX steering knuckles (that's the item that holds the caliper and the tie rod in place).
