Foremost like to thank Brian over at Fastbrakes (based in Arizona) for researching, testing for me on the parts that can fit on the Mazda 6 using stock 19" wheel, we now have another option that's easier on the wallet and in doing so they now have a kit for sale you guys can buy.. Click banner image below to go to store page.

The Kit comes with 1 piece 12.6" slotted/drilled rotors, 4 piston Wilwood Superlite calipers, performance brake pads, adapter brackets and the front braided steel brake lines. Gray calipers standard, Black or Red calipers Optional at an extra cost. Now available AP Racing calipers! Be sure to choose the caliper option you want. Requires at least 17" wheels (Spare factory wheels usually WILL NOT clear).

The kit is $865 + shipping

Also in the works, a rear offset kit, meaning an Adapter bracket to offset stock caliper to allow for a larger rotor.. Image below is an example what the kit will be like not the acutal kit, A set of oversized rotors with adapter brackets.

My Front rotors need to be replaced soon. So tempted to get this .

Any review now that you've had them a couple weeks?

 

[MZR-6i]

looks temping....any update on install pics?

Thanks for helping to expand the market @MadStyle . Hopefully these and others will challenge Corksport and Ceika to bring their prices down to stay competitive.

@MadStyle, any idea how much replacement rotors will cost when it's inevitably time to change them?

 

[Dougspeed]

Any ideas if these will work on the 2018 Mazda 6 GT models?

The rotors are off the shelf stock Nissan 320mm rotors which are anywhere from 90 dollars and up a piece depending on brand, I will measure them again this weekend when I get some down time so you can find the same size rotors at a later date for replacements. I will take photos when I get my car back later in the week. No issues with them at all..

Noticeable difference in braking power? I think these may fit the 2018 model as well. Just looked up the specs on both the 2014-2017 and my 2018 and the brake sizes are identical for both front and rear.

I do not see why it would not work, as long as the 2018 stock wheel dimensions are the same as the earlier models which I am sure pretty sure they still are.

Noticeable difference is braking is more grippy aka braking force, in turn had to slightly change my behavior how I normally brake from when I had stock calipers.

Thanks for confirming the rotors are off the shelf parts and widely available. That's awesome news. These brakes would look great under 19" wheels. Tempted to add it to my upgrade list down the road.

Forgot to ask, you're running these brakes without spacers on the stock 19s?

No spacers, the kit fits stock 19s and up only..

Says factory spare won’t fit over it. I assume that refers only to the bigger front. Is the bigger rear still smaller than the stock front rotor?

What I’m gettin at is that if you get a flat tire on a front wheel with these brakes and you don’t have a full-size spare with you, you should move one of the 19” wheels from the rear to the front and put the factory donut spare on the back. Is the stock scissor jack strong enough to lift one whole side of the car to do that wheel swapping on the roadside or will it only hold one corner of the car up?

 

[waughoo]

Don't think the factory jack is strong enough or even tall enough to get one hole side off the ground.

 

[6seriesmazdarati]

Not too get too far off topic here, but I'm not entirely sure why you'd need to have both tires up in the air at the same time...
Front drivers 19 is flat. Take spare from trunk swap with Rear drivers 19. Take 60 seconds and put the rear back down, lift the front and swap the now "spare" 19 with the flat 19 up front. voila... Maybe I'm missing something here though.

I was kind of excited for a BBK however, I just did a brake fluid flush, new rotors and new pads... Maybe at 100k car miles I'll do this now, maybe we'll be able to get more power out of our 2.5 N/As by then to make it more worthy! (wishful thinking)

With 20" wheels the 12.6 rotors still look small in photo but in person perfect size, this is not a 400+hp car requiring some humongous rotors lol.

 

[MadStyle]

Rotors are from a Nissan 2006-2012 Maxima so you know what rotors replacement to buy when it comes time to replace em. 320mm x 25.4mm / 12.6" x diameter x 1" wide.
