Press Release PR-154


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:


Camarillo, CA • February 2013

Wilwood Disc Brakes is proud to introduce two new front upgrade disc brake kits for the 2006-2012 Mazda Miata. These upgraded brake kits significantly enhance safety and performance for street use, while exceeding the demands of track events from Autocross to the most challenging SCCA Road Race venues. Kits come with Forged Narrow Superlite 6 Radial (FNSL6R) mount calipers with 12.88” or 14.00” GT slotted, or SRP drilled and slotted rotors. These kits work harmoniously with the original equipment master cylinder and ABS functions. However, wheel spacer (included with kit) is required to fit stock 17” wheels on the 12.88” kit.*

High strength clamping force and positive stopping power are the trademark of the Wilwood net forged FNSL6R calipers. Six differential bore stainless steel pistons provide fully balanced pad loading, along with the corrosion resistance and thermal retardant qualities of the stainless alloy that will keep your calipers cooler and running trouble free for many more miles down the road or track. For more aggressive race applications, calipers can be fitted with our exclusive Thermlock pistons which provide the most effective thermal barrier for minimizing heat transfer from the brake pads to the caliper body, seals, and fluid. Base model kits include either sealed gloss black or red powder coat calipers.

Both kits can be purchased with either the GT competition series, or the SRP series drilled and slotted E-coat rotors to maximize braking capacity and match style with your wheel size and design. GT rotors are fully detail machined from premium grade carbon iron castings, face slotted, and individually dynamic balanced to provide true and precise running at all speeds. SRP performance rotors feature Wilwood’s signature directional drill and slot design with a protective E-coat finish. The drill and slot pattern adds race-tech styling and the venting qualities that preserve pad performance. The heat resistant E-coat finish protects the rotors from rust on all areas that are not swept clean by the brake pads.

Both the 12.88” (P/N 140-12907) and 14” (P/N 140-12911) kits come with BP-10 compound “Smart Pads" that provide quiet engagement and low dusting, but with the added temperature range and higher friction values of a semi-metallic compound pad. Optional high-temp and race only pad compounds are also available.

To complete the installation, precision machined and application specific brackets come along with premium grade hardware and alignment shims for a secure and accurate installation. DOT approved flexline kits, required to adapt Wilwood calipers to your chassis plumbing are included with the kits.

All of Wilwood’s performance brake kits are loaded with cutting edge technology built on decades of domination in world motorsports, and proven reliable through Zero PPM defect supply to OEM’s. These kits will not only exceed your braking demands, on and off the track, but also enhance the appearance of your Subaru.
