no joke. but for $380, it's really hard to beat unless the rotors are completely thrashed...

I might tackle this..... I have both an NB and an NA. so I could have brackets done for 1.6 and 1.8 cars..... or done around NB sport package brakes (if I pick up some front rotors...
My Fab guy is crazy good..... I'll talk to him and see if he's interested. I may do it for my car anyway, but It would depend on interest to see if I'd have em manufactured....
He also Has Brembo calipers lyin around, both from STI's and Evo's if that might be a better solution????

Part of the reason to go with the wilwoods is like 11 lbs of weight loss divided amongst the 4 corners. Something like that anyway, remember reading something like that by emilio.

A lot of people who do this swap use VW corrado rotors. I believe they are about the same size as the FC rotors. Fitting the caliper under 15" wheels shouldn't be a problem, as the FC can with 15's. If you need some calipers to fab up a bracket let me know. I've got a few sets sitting in my garage.

Fastbrakes makes a kit for B13 & B14 Nissan's that used to use the Corrado rotor. For some reason they're using a different rotor now, not sure why. And it's redrilled which is a bummer, because the Corrado's are nice and cheap, and readily available.
It's pretty odd that Fastbrakes doesn't make a kit for Miata's. I actually have a brand new Fastbrakes 11" Nissan kit that I'm selling, now that I'm moving over to a Miata.
