Default BBK for Mazdaspeed6

Hey guys

I'm currently looking for a BBK for my Mazdaspeed6 but so far I only found the Brembo and the Rotora kit.
Stoptech seems to have one for the speed3, but none for the speed6. Anything else you might be able to recommend?

Of course I know about most of the rotor and pad combinations, but now I'm solely looking around for a BBK...

Cheers
Stefan

I'm currently driving Rotora Rotors with EBC Red Stuff and steel brake lines but still have fading when driving down our mountain roads in a sportive way...
Last time I could nearly press the pedal down to the floor before I got some braking effect. Not a good feeling when you're driving serpentine roads...

This. Even with OEM pads, grooved OEM rotors, and rubber lines, I had NO problems on the Rocky Mountain roads I've driven. Now that I have StopTech rotors, Hawk HPS Pads, and SS lines, I want to try again, but you should NOT be having that much trouble. Especially since you ought to be downshifting more than braking.

I track my car, and have to flush the brake fluid after every event.

I have a 26 mile (read: one way up, one way down) curvy mountain road, that I've gone up numerous times at almost every type of driving level, most of the time hauling ass on stock pads. Never had to change fluid.

Case in point, your brake fade is due to the reds boiling the fluid and/or getting the fluid too hot to be effective. Either get different brake pads, or slow down

A miata may be gay, but its probably faster than your car around a track. That's pretty gay.

The latter is no option on these roads so I will have to see if I can get better results with different brake pads or some other brake fluid. Thanks for your input...

Personally, I run motul 600. Much higher boiling point that super blow, I mean blue. Might step up to motul 660. Or even a higher temp rated. Might have to when I switch to DTC-60 pads.
