Product details
Wilwood pairs black Superlite six-piston calipers with 14-inch GT slotted rotor rings in this MX-5 Miata front brake conversion. The larger Spec-37 rings mount to separate hats on the compatible factory hubs. BP-10 pads, brackets and the front flex lines listed in the installation document are supplied as the selected package, with wheel clearance requiring particular attention at this rotor diameter. Wilwood Engineering was founded by Bill Wood in 1977 and is based in Camarillo, California. The company designs and manufactures disc brake systems and components, including calipers, brake rotors, master cylinders, valves, fittings, and brake lines for motorsport, street-performance, and specialized applications.

Fitment & Compatibility
Check the individual 2006–2015 model-year and trim entry and verify the original hub and spindle arrangement. Inspect hat seating before following the rotor and bracket installation sequence. The conditional 18-inch minimum does not guarantee clearance of every wheel; compare spoke shape and barrel depth with the complete drawing. Route the supplied hoses through steering travel without rubbing or tension, then review pedal travel and front-to-rear balance with the rear brakes already on the vehicle.
Match the individual year, model, submodel and equipment conditions in the fitment table below.
