That's pretty badass Ken! Not a lot of description though. What year MX5? What size masters? Designed for LHD or RHD?

MX5 - www.compbrake.com

unfortunately no no more information from the source of the parts. Although, seems like you can just buy the fabricated parts and roll your own as an option. You do your own math, source your master cylinders from Summit/Jegs/Wilwood, bend your own lines, and voila a close to off-the-shelf solution. Let someone else figure out the mounts and fabrication...

As a U.K. Supplier, I assume RHD, although not sure this is going to matter much. I don't see what years, although it is marketed to Mazda MX-5 and not a Mazda Miata and that may mean something. I have to think there is much more market to NA and NB then NC, but MX-5 implies NC?

So I emailed the company, and asked year, LHD fitment, and master cylinder sizes and they said:

Yes it will fit perfect in your MX 5 (They didn't say which years)
Both left hand and right hand on this application
Comes with 0.625 front brake cylinder and a 0.7 rear cylinder

I've sent them another email, asking for year range fitment and no rely. So I'm thinking about rolling the dice and ordering a kit.

RE: The Compbrake kit. Bought and received quickly but despite my repeated attempts to obtain instructions for the "plug and play kit" I am getting no further responses. I'll create a new thread with details once we get it going this winter but it's certainly not an out of the box ready solution. I opted for their house branded master cylinders with the intent on upgrading to the AP units and keeping these as spares if the kit works well.


Compbrake dual brake master "kit"

Looks pretty nice though. I ended up removing my fab 9 setup and moved back to a booster, but I'd like to get the compbrake kit (miss the feel). Looks like it's just missing a t fitting for the front lines...

I have that same type of kit but for the RX-8. Have never actually fitted it up yet but it looks nice. I know someone that used one in an F20C swapped RX-8 that had Stoptech brakes all around and they really liked it. I think when I upgrade the brakes on the Miata I'll get another one of the comp brake kits instead of the usual master cylinder upgrade that everyone does with 11.75" BBK.

Looking forward to results though.

I'm intrigued by the Compbrake kit.
Are they using the additional link for any kind of mechanical advantage? It doesn't look like it, but I don't see why it couldn't be used to adjust the pedal ratio.
I'm curious about the potential of mechanical slop and flex.
