“Full factory back up and spares from the Netherlands ! Fitted to my 2008 NC1 .You will need disc retaining screws for the fitting process and in my case 20mm hub centric wheel spacers to fit,thus requiring dimpling of the standard alloys to clear the standard length wheel hub studs.Able to use existing aero-quip hoses instead of supplied ones.Instructions are adequate,follow to the letter and you will be OK. Kit ooses quality the form fit and finish second to none ! Brake pads sweep whole disc area and appear to be designed specifically for this application, even the packaging and labeling is top notch. Braking performance is enhanced with more pedal feel but still bedding in, and looking forward to some spirited driving trips !”

“I don't tend to rate things until I've tried them out properly. Ive had this kit on my car turbo'd Mx5nc now for around 3 years. They have performed without fault for the whole time both on track and general road work. They are still looking good so very happy all round.”

“Well, another update, as usual the mx5parts guys were very helpful in supplying another calliper on the same day! :-) Will see how it will perform.Note: my star rating is not related to mx5parts staff performance.”

“An update on this set of brakes.It is now discovered that one piston is leaking brake fluid.Considering all installation issues and this fault I see that the brakes are not suitable to be used on the car. Lets see how this is going to be resolved.”

“The brakes stop the car fast ...There is always a but ...1. Instructions are not in English, pictures do make sense to an extent.2. Braded lines have the wrong middle brackets, it is 90 degrees in relation to a line, so it twists the line making it short (concluded by the garage). So you are lucky if you have good braded lines installed.3. It does not tell you the way you have to fit the disc.4. A car will require one modification ... you will have to cut the heat shield off.5. It does not explain if there is a difference in fitting a spring into a calliper to support brake pads, there are two ways, play around with it and see what happens but you have to take the calliper off every time.6. It is very important to sand off all the rust from the rear of the bracket on the car or your calliper will shift in by about 2mm making it too far in.Overall ... the brakes are good.Would I like to second guess HOW TO if I buy a kit of brakes ... probably not.”
