Only Flyin' Miata offers four piston rear calipers with a parking brake mechanism. They use your stock parking brake cable and are a direct bolt-in.
This setup saves 3.85 lbs of unsprung weight per side.
Since they're so stiff, they don't flex when you stand on the pedal. This gives a very firm, reassuring pedal with no springiness.
The rear calipers are exclusive to Flyin' Miata, and incorporate a parking brake mechanism. The Powerlite rear caliper has been modified to use the factory handbrake cables, even using factory clips so it's a really clean install. The handbrake is not as powerful as the stock setup, so while it can be used to hold the car on a grade, it is not suitable for initiating handbrake turns. The piston sizes are chosen to match the factory ones so your brake balance is not affected.
As a bonus, these calipers are more compact than the stock ones. This allows the use of 15" wheels in the rear. Make sure your front brakes also clear 15" wheels! They fit under stock 17" wheels (including BBS Club wheels), as well as our Tobu and Kōgeki wheels, without the need for a spacer.
Choose red powder coat or hard-anodized in grey for the finish. Both versions are hard-anodized to make the coating very durable and resistant to changes due to temperature, the red version simply has red powder coating over that. It's important to note that the shades of grey will likely not match perfectly. We can't accept returns due to mismatched caliper colors. If you'd like your calipers to match perfectly, please choose the red powder coat option.

This kit could be used to upgrade the rear calipers on a Brembo-package car or any other ND. Fits 2.0 cars, including all North American ND MX-5s. 1.5 cars use a different rotor size, so you'd need a set of 2.0 rotors to go along with the kit.
Includes new rear stainless brake lines. You will reuse your stock rotors. Also available as a four wheel kit.
