GTR brakes

[323driver]

GTR spindles wont work on FWD. You need an MX6/626 spindle with a GTR hub. Then, run this with Mazda 6 or MS6 rotors and calipers and you're there. Or use Protege 5 spindles/hubs with Mazda6/MS6 brakes. The difference would be that protege 5 uses much smaller bearings than the MX6/626.

Any of that compatible with the 4-lug center so I can keep my wheels?

P5 shares the same bearing as the BG

[323driver]

but you couldn't use the bigger 5 lug rotors so what's the point. If you want bigger brakes, you need to change wheels.

[therieldeal]

what about the bigger miata front rotors? or maybe corrado? idk

[323driver]

I dunno, none of the newer mazda stuff will fit the BG spindles with 4 lugs as is. If you absolutely want 4 lugs, you'll have to try it.

For 5 lugs, such as GTR or MP5, you can easily upgrade the brakes for newer mazda and MS stuff and it's all bolt on.

i'd love to convert to 5 lug, except at some point i want 13" lenso drag wheels and they only come in 4x100

[323driver]

If you want 13" radials, forget the bigger brakes. The MS6 rotors are almost 13", you'll have to run without calipers at the drag lol

I want to keep my Rotas, but I want to stop faster on the track.

[therieldeal]

i never said anything about going bigger, just going 5 lug lol

Sorry for the post in a old thread... Just a quick note: I recently replaced the front hub bearing in my 90 gtx and it also uses the 74mm outer race bearing that the gtr uses. I believe the normal fwd bg uses a 70mm outer race. The package that the bearing came in stated 90-94 323 awd and 99+ 323. Hear the P5 is known as 323F. There is no such thing as a protege here. But all this got me thinking, when the bearing is the same for the awd and the later 323's, I can simply replace the hubs with the 99+ 5lug. I just need to get 4 for the front. But I'd need to put them in my hand first and take some measurements. But than I'm still stuck using the bg calipers. Maybe I'll just try to find gtr parts.

GTR uses MX6 bearings that are way bigger than GTX ones. Don't know the exact size though. And the GTR inner diameter is bigger as well so a GTX hub won't work with a GTR bearing, tried it...

Jay, how do I go about ordering these pads you speak of? I cant find em online. Thanks!

Call porterfield asnd ask them for my pattern, or maybe by thier hand-written label, 'sumitomo .15"

[DuRWooD]

Maybe a group buy. I'd be in.
