    Description

    We have been able to secure used rear calipers and can now offer ready to go blueprinted rear calipers for those who do not want to send us their known good spares. To get the $125 price, you must send us your known good rear calipers first. The $125 price includes the parts and labor to modify YOUR calipers, it is not the price for our ready to go calipers.

    What's included? When you receive your calipers from us, they will have:

  • The elusive parking brake mechanism inside will be completely removed, not just disabled. The outside of the calipers will look the same.
  • All new inner seals and outer rubber components using OEM Mazda parts
  • A clean, factory finish with our special rust inhibiting treatment applied
  • Blueprinting techniques to allow faster action of the pistons and bracket slide pins.

    How the service works and what we do:

  • If you chose to send us your cores, the first thing you must do is to ship us both of your WORKING, KNOWN GOOD rear brake calipers and their brackets. It is very important to send us known good calipers, taking the ones directly off of your car is always a good idea. Or, for an even better result, you can send us brand new calipers. If you don't have or don't want to send us cores, please choose the "Use our cores" option above and we'll send you a set of our race ready blueprinted cores.
  • Once we receive your calipers, we will completely disassemble them and inspect them to determine if they are serviceable. If we cannot disassemble them because they are seized up, they will be sent back to you and your order will be refunded less the costs of shipping.
  • If your calipers disassemble without issue, we will take them down to bare cores and clean every component of them thoroughly, restoring them to a factory finish if they're are not given to us covered in rust.
  • Once we have the components removed, we go over every part of the calipers and apply our special blueprinting techniques to free up the caliper mechanisms, which helps them work better all around.
  • We then remove the parking brake mechanism using our special tools, reassemble them, pressure test them to ensure proper engagement (most of our calipers activate with just 5psi of air pressure and retract with a simply squeezing them back in with your hands!), and ship them back.

    Background on why you need to blueprint your rear brake calipers:
    Speed secrets shouldn't only be reserved for the front runners, and until recently they were. As Spec Miata specialists, we strive to offer every part or service for our customers cars, and blueprinting your rear brake calipers is one of the newest speed secrets to hit the community. When we blueprint your brake calipers, we remove the automatic parking brake adjuster located deep inside the inner workings of your brake caliper body. This parking brake mechanism automatically adjusts the gap between your rear brake pads and rotors as your brake pads wear down. It is meant to keep the parking brake handle from having to be pulled up so high to engage your parking brakes on street cars by keeping the pads close as they wear over time. This part has no use on a race car as they do not use parking brakes, and above everything it causes brake drag as it does not allow the brake pads to release as fast as they are able to. It has been proven to free up horsepower as you are decreasing rolling resistance by eliminating brake drag, and from our personal experiences with the mechanism removed, we have found that our mid-corner speeds have increased noticeably. When you trail off and release the brakes while entering a corner, your car will almost feel as if it shoots forward, which really showed us how much the rear brakes were dragging before we did the modification. It's worth it, and just another addition to your car to bring it closer to the front!
