I don't know of any aluminum caliper for miata but their is a big brake

conversion available for miata 11.3" rotors, SS brake line, 4 pistons

caliper from Wilwood w/ carbon pad, I think.  All for less than $1,000.  I

think is a very good deal.  The brembo for my M3 runs more than $2,000.

DealerAlt carries them.  Hey, Bill I am still waiting for the answer about

maintainance on the Wilwood and the performance results on the big brake.
