Doesn't M-Tuned already make brackets that do this? M-Tuned Rear Big Rotor Kit

I mean, if you are just screwing around and trying to DIY that's cool, I can STFU & GTFO.

<p>Yes they do, thats where the idea comes from. But if were already milling front brackets, we might as well mill rear ones too.</p>

Jesus, I now know what others felt when I was in full swing in my build thread. Took me 3 pages to catch up since yesterday.

I'd be in for some 1.8-on-Sport action in the rear. Sport brakes the worst thing i've done to my car.

You can either trust my sketchy milling skills. Or press the easy button:

Don't stress it. Drain oil when warm. Dump in gallon. Done.

<p>I used to care about how much oil I put in my car. I'd stress and try to start with exactly 3.4 or whatever it was. Now I buy Rotella T6 and dump in the entire gallon container.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.miataturbo.net-vbulletin/600x454/80-were_the_millers_no_ragrets_tattoo_600x454_28332eb 299be75d65ff6c58df88d6fde56663578.jpg" title="" /><br /><br />&nbsp;</p>

<p>Switching from some generic synthetic. I'm going to drain everything. Put in a gallon and some, then have an extra quart around for top ups.</p>
