NA/NB rear parking brake big brake kit

Do you already have a big brake kit, but you’re still using the stock brakes on the back? Maybe you have a rear BBK, but you want a stronger parking brake? Here you go. This kit puts a separate Wilwood MC4 mechanical parking brake caliper on the rotor, in addition to the Powerlite calipers we’ve been using forever, to give you the stiff pedal and sex appeal of the Powerlite but with a truly functional parking brake. This kit reuses your stock parking brake cables for strength and economy – if you have our custom parking brake cables for the rear Powerlite calipers, you’ll need to replace them with stock cables (refer to the instructions for Mazda part numbers). While the aluminum Powerlite caliper is quite a bit lighter than stock and sheds heat better, the separate parking brake caliper adds some weight – this kit is roughly .5 lbs / .2 kg heavier (per corner) than the stock brakes. 

This kit doesn’t include rotors or brake fluid. It’s built around stock-size 2001-2005 Sport Miata rotors, commonly referred to as 11” rotors (even though they’re slightly smaller) – if you have some that are in good shape, you should be able to reuse them. It will not work with 10″ (1994-2002 non-Sport) rotors. 

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. This is especially true between different calipers, e.g., our front Dynapro calipers and our rear Powerlite calipers. 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.

Bear in mind that the silver MC4 calipers and the grey anodized Powerlites are not the same color. They don’t clash, but they don’t match perfectly. The red calipers are a perfect match for all red front Wilwood calipers). 

If you already have a rear brake kit that uses Powerlite calipers, you can reuse them. Note that this kit will not work with stock calipers and requires the use of Wilwood Powerlite calipers.
