I asked the question on a 6 forum and here is what i got for a response.
Keep in mind i didn't mention that it was for a Probe, but the principal is the same.
Me:
Hey,
I was wondering you could you swap out the entire brake setup from an 2003-05 and install 06+ rotors, calipers & pads, would that be fine?
My answer would be a qualified "yes". I would imagine it would also require changing the caliper mounting brackets both front and rear, and assumes that the newer model ones would bolt up to the spindles correctly. You would also need to change the dust shields on all 4 wheels, brake hoses, master cylinder (larger brakes need a larger master cylinder, more fluid displacement....one of the things most commonly overlooked in "big brake kit" swaps) and possibly the power brake booster if the master cylinder doesn't bolt up directly to the earlier model booster.
These are all just guesses, and assume that nothing else major is different between the early and later models.
You might do some searching on the forums, I believe one of the sponsors was at one time offering a kit that was made up of brake components from the MazdaSpeed6, which has larger front brakes than even the later model Mazda6 and uses the same rear brakes as the 2006 and up if you're really serious about updating brakes on an earlier model.KLZE, Hotshot Headers, Hotshot CAI, Pacesetter exhaust, 626 swar bar, AWR adjustable endlinks, Centreforce clutch, MX-3 Flywheel, JJ resonated TP, Eibach Springs, Shogun Rims, Mach 1 Chin and Mazda6 BBK (the Orignal)

Guys and gals,
I presently have 06-07 Mazda 6 front disc+calipers on my 93 PGT track car: Bolt-on perfectly onto the Probe hub. So:
Disc diameter:
03-05 Mazda 6 => 11.1" => Fits no problem with a 16" wheel
06-07 Mazda 6 => 11.8" => Fits no problem with a 16" wheel
06-07 MazdaSpeed 6 => 12.2" => Must have a 17" wheel minimum
Cheap and reliable upgrade from our original poor 10.2" disc diameter!Nothing worth a V6 purring...

There IS a mod for a dual piston setup I had saved on my old HD before I replaced it. I believe it was a complete direct swap from a Subaru. Same pads, rotors, just swap over dual piston calipers.
