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: http://www.good-win-racing.com/mazda/miata/13-1025.html 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 |
