Default 94 brake upgrade

Hi all,

I wanted to upgrade my 94 Miata brakes with some new rotors, lines and
pads, possibly without changing wheels (still have the OEM 14" alloy).

I was thinking of something like:

Any suggestion/experience on the subject.

My use is mainly street, with good percentage on twisty
backroads here in SoCal, and some occasional autocross and light track
time.

Thanks for your help.
Mike

Mike -

As long as the rotors are the same size as OEM, you shouldn't have any
problems. -- The S/S lines will firm up the pedal, the change in pads
will account for your street/track usage, and the slotted rotors will
keep the brakes cooler. (But you will notice an increase in brake
dust...)

I upgraded to larger front rotors and the wilwood calipers, and
therefore needed larger than 14" rims. (Now I just have to make sure
I don't flat-spot my tires...)

Good news!

Any success/horror stories with some specific pads?

Cheers,
Mike
