Thank you for the inquiry with Wilwood Disc Brakes. Our Mazda Miata kit was just released and has not been updated on our website.

FWIW
The off the shelf wilwood kit 140-8740 made for a Mini Cooper is pretty near a direct bolt on for a Miata. A couple of washers and a hat centering ring are all that is needed.
Dyna-Pro > Dyna-Lite
11.75” > 11”
.60 thick pads > .49 thick pads
Directional Vane > Straight Vane
I have been running this kit for a number of years. I Pioneered the installation.
Id like to figure out how a setup for the rear using one of their parking brake combo calipers. Seems like the parking brake cable is oriented wrong however and they are only made for vented rotors which in my testing has shown is just unnecasary weight for the rear of even the highes powerd miata track cars.
Currently I have a custom 11.44” two peace rear rotors with stock calipers.

bbundy, it's also $1075 vs. $700 for this supposed new BBK. I'd take the dyna-lites, 11" rotors, .49" thick pads, and straight vanes to say $375. Then again I may not be finding the best price for the kit, this was directly off Wilwood's site.

Finally wilwood stepped up and put the kit together for what it should cost. I suspect the other players will have to lower prices or sales will die off.
I have found www.Summitracing.com usually has the best wilwood prices usually less that wilwood lists.

Seems Good-Win is following the trend for $699 (including lines) front only, looks like different hats, caliper brackets, and pads:

The time it took for Wilwood to enter the market tells me that there's a lot of opportunity out there for small biz to compete (auto aftermarket, not specifically miata bbk's).
If you want to be horrified, look at the prices of E36 BMW BBK's. My car came with front BBK's which I didn't need, I downgraded to stock, and sold the ones from the car for $1700.
