The Superlite bridgebolt radial mount option will be up tomorrow. We're using the 2.46" piston area version so we get both radial mounting and the thicker 7420 pad (20mm)
Superlite radial 7420 is 60% more pad volume than Dynapro 7816, 135% more than Dynalite 7112. WePlenty of caliper and a bit lighter than the Superlite. Also clears our 15x9 with about a 5mm spacer.
The Superlite gives you longer pad life a bit more fade resistance but needs the 15x10 6UL at minimum.
Pedal feel with the SL4RBB 2.46 and our tandem 1" master cylinder kit is solid like the pedal in our GT350. I personally like the R18 pad up front. Super high .mu around .75 which requires little effort but still modulates beautifully. That low effort pays dividends in reduces flex everywhere.

Dynapro over Dynalite for pad volume and stiffness. The Dynalite is a very old caliper design now. The Dynalite is still a great option for someone who doesn't need as much brake, sub 180whp say.
A 11" Dynalite kit is a great place to save weight even if you don't need more brakes. We run OEM sport brakes on S2 Supermiatas (140whp) but they would benefit from an 11" Dynalite kit it it were allowed.

Dynalite pads are dirt cheap. Something like 50% of the price of stock Miata sized pads. The caliper is also light and cheap. Great budget setup for a stock or small rotrex build.

We have always preferred the NA8 9.4" rear when using an 11" front. Stoptech asked us to provide feedback on their 11.0/10.9" combination with hydraulic ratios and pad .mu bias tweaked to compensate for the mechanical leverage bias. We'll see how it works.
Looks bitchin anyway.

Posted earlier in this thread. Many other cares posted info here and on various fb pages. I like the ST42 caliper, I just think the Wilwood options do the same job for less expense.
When the ST kit was in development as an 11.75 kit, I suggested they build an 11" kit to bring costs down and fit more wheels. Now that I have seen the caliper, it's a bit overkill for an 11" kit. For every 1x 11.75 Miata kit sold worldwide, there are probably 100x 11" kits sold.
Perhaps ST will offer an 11.75 version more fitting with the cost of the caliper.
