    MSP brakes?

    ok so, theoretically speaking lets just assume i was going to use p5 hubs all the way around my car, for a full awd 5 lug conversion how well do you all think MSP brakes would fit, or would i even benifit from them at all?

    I'm buying parts i don't need, With money I don't have, To impress people I don't know.

    The benefits would be negligible unless you were doing a lot of track driving. The Protege5 calipers with Hawk HP+ pads in the front and stock pads in the rear will be more brakes than you need.

      also the time and money it will take to find awd hubs from a protege5 will be nuts. i've only ever seen one and it was off in europe somewhere.

          by hubs do you mean knuckles? cause the brakes hook up to the nuckles not the hub right? and how hard would it be to pop the p5 nuckles on the front? i'm still trying to find a relatively easy method of upgrading the front brakes a little

            The P5 spindle/knuckle is wider where the strut bolts to it. You would need to run P5 front struts (which bolt up to the strut tower w/o modification). There isn't any reason to run the P5 rear spindles if you don't have to.

              rears you can put the mazdaspeed miata brakes to upgrad... so the only difference is the spot the struts mount to?!!! geez if that's it then i'm going to save up to do that and put on the mazdaspeed protege front brakes if they are better than the stock mx3 ones i need a slight brake upgrade front and back to offset the AWD addition
