Damn those things look brand new with the powdercoating and rebuild. I just got in all the parts I need for the 06-current (yes the front setups for the new-gen Mazda6 are all the same as 06-08) front upgrade and sticking with Probe rears for now. I'm anxious to see your results. Did you got with Goodridge lines for the Probe or Mazda6? Does it matter?

[asnman]

I got the lines specific to my car, which is an MX6 so it shouldnt matter.

[RedGT]

Good to know. I bought "Probe GT" braided lines on the assumption they would be the same thread pitch as the Mazda calipers.

Finally got my calipers all put on and damn do they look sexy! I still haven't found a solution to the rear calipers but I have an idea of cutting into the line and extending it, I need to do some research first before i do that lol.

I got a set of 2010 Mazda 6 calipers and they fit in the hub but i'm waiting on the rotors to see the rest of it! The rotors for this year model are the same as 2006 @11.77",
RAYBESTOS 680404
I will snap pics on everything on the scale for everyone to see the difference in weight between the PGT and this new stuff

[MonoxideChild]

everything thats been said is the 09+ is the same brake set up as the 06+. so it should work without any issue.

[RedGT]

Yeah I compared all the part numbers (rotors, pads, calipers) for 2010 and they were the same as the 2006-2008 ones. I got my calipers from a 2010 with 7500 miles on them.

mines were at 15.6k but they came loaded with new-ish pads and the whole cool deal

[RedGT]

Ha I wish I got that lucky. Mine came with some of the shims and one set of almost-new pads. So I had to still buy new hardware kits and pads. What a tease!

[MonoxideChild]

yea. my 06+ set up came with everything down to even the lines. but im not going to use them. im using the 03-05 set up on my 626 just so i can still run my stock 15's for winter.

if anyone is looking for a set of 06+'s, i have a set im not going to be using. calipers, brackets, lines, shims, and even has like new pads.

[RigsPGT]

I just got the rotors painted and snapped a pic of them with the already painted calipers Cant wait to swap them over!
BTW, the rotors weigh at 19.2lbs each and once i swap the rest i will weigh everything and come up with a total number of pounds we add in there.

In regards to '07 MS6 brakes, I know someone said the OEM 16's wouldn't fit over. Is it an actual diameter issue of the wheel, or is it an offset issue causing the calipers to scrape the inner-face of the wheel?

[MonoxideChild]

its a physical diameter issue. the MS6 rotors are over 12 inch's, and just take up alot of room.

Does the ABS work well when the brake system is changed?
