Product details
Red six-piston Superlite calipers work with GT slotted 14-inch rotors in this Wilwood front package for the listed Mazda MX-5 Miata models. Its separate-hat rotor construction uses the compatible original hubs and the kit-specific bracket arrangement. Wilwood's installation instructions include the front flex lines with the pads and hardware, while the actual wheel interior must accommodate the larger brake envelope. 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
Read the exact year and trim row, then confirm factory spindle and hub registration before installing the hats. Follow the assembly and bracket-shimming instructions to position the rotor and caliper correctly. Use the complete 18-inch minimum clearance drawing to check the proposed rim's barrel and spokes. Ensure the hydraulic hoses remain free through steering lock and suspension travel. Verify pedal travel and braking proportion with the existing rear setup after the installation is complete.
