MX-5 Big Brake Kits

Big Brake Kits generally include upgraded calipers, a pair of discs, a set of brake pads, all hardware necessary for fitting and brake lines to suit. As the name suggests, Big Brake Kits are supplied as a complete kit for your MX-5’s performance braking needs — which offer a whole host of benefits over stock brakes.

Big Brake Kits come with larger discs and are noticeably more performance-oriented, with more friction area, larger brake calipers with more pistons and higher friction brake pads to boot. They offer a more sure-footed feel when it comes to braking, engineered to withstand both extreme temperatures and corrosion, keeping your calipers cooler and running trouble-free for longer.

About our MX-5 Big Brake Kit range

The Good Win Racing Budget Front Big Brake Kit for the MX-5 NC ensures you get maximum bang for your buck, designing this kit to balance well with the factory rear brake size. Upgrading gives you access to a wide selection of choice performance brake pads, and the kit includes Wilwood BP20 pads.

At BOFI Racing, we also offer the Wildwood Dynalite One Piece Big Brake Kit, which matches the Wildwood Dynalite Forged four-piston brake calliper with the one-piece 280mm brake disc from the Mazda MX-5 ND. The disc is correctly vented to the rear of its hub, enhancing performance, while each caliper weighs just 1.36kgs, substantially reducing unsprung weight and improving driving dynamics.

Frequently asked questions

Do big brake kits make a difference?
Big Brake Kits make a huge difference to the performance of your car, with larger brake discs and pads, plus multi-piston calipers. A Big Brake Kit will usually noticeably improve your MX-5’s stopping power, making it especially necessary for track days when you’re on the circuit stopping hard lap after lap.

Are performance brakes worth it?
Most aftermarket performance brake kits, including our Big Brake Kits, use multi-piston calipers instead of single-piston calipers. This upgraded setup means you not only get a significantly increased amount of clamping force, but that this force is applied more evenly, reducing pad flex and improving clamping effectiveness and friction. This makes your MX-5 more reliable and predictable underfoot, with improved stopping distances on the street or on track.
