Now one of the darlings of both the tuned and track car communities, the MX-5 is well supplied by the aftermarket, though V-Maxx&#8217;s latest Big Brake offering is certainly one of the most complete offerings currently available, and one that will fit both Mk1 (NA) and Mk2 (NB) models.<\/p>\n<p>The heart of V-Maxx&#8217;s MX-5 Big Brake kit are the calipers, beautifully designed and engineered four-piston examples that will look perfectly at home on any first or second generation MX-5. Made from a specially developed grade of aluminium that&#8217;s both lightweight and incredibly tough, the calipers are the result of many months of painstaking development, and can be relied upon to haul even the hardest charging of Roadsters to a halt in a controlled, drama-free manner.<\/p>\n<p>The Big Brake kit includes a pair of equally well developed discs, an impressive 290mm in diameter and with a two-piece construction. Grooved for exemplary cooling properties, the discs are constructed from high carbon steel and feature incredibly lightweight, fully-floating aluminium hubs. Not only does this mean that V-Maxx discs function more effectively than their OEM-equivalents, it means that they can be counted upon to perform for extended periods of time, and all without fading, glazing or failing.<\/p>\n<p>Those seeking further reassurance as to the quality of the kit and its components will no doubt be pleased to learn that it&#8217;s fully TUV approved, while the high friction pads also included are perfectly suited to both track and fast road use.<\/p>\n<p>Each V-Maxx Big Brake kit ships with adaptors to enable easy fitment to the original rubber brake hoses, while those seeking even better braking performance can specify their kit with V-Maxx Steelflex stainless steel brake lines with Teflon\/PTFE inner tubing.<\/p>\n<p>Simple to install, keenly priced and all backed up by one of the world&#8217;s leading chassis experts, the new Big Brake kit from V-Maxx will make a fine addition to any Mk1 or Mk2 Mazda MX-5, no matter whether it&#8217;s a dedicated track car, a weekend road toy or something in between.<\/p>\n<p>Price:<\/p>\n<p>20 MA290 01 (without brake lines): \u00a3949<\/p>\n<p>20 MA290 01X (with Steelflex lines): \u00a3999<\/p>\n<p>For more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.v-maxx.co.uk\/\">www.v-maxx.co.uk<\/a> <strong>ENDS.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Lauded as one of the finest handling mass-market cars of all time, the Mazda MX-5 was nothing short of a revelation when launched onto an <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/2016\/09\/02\/big-brakes-for-mx-5\/\" title=\"BIG BRAKES FOR MX-5&#8230;\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10683","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10683","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10683"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10683\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10683"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10683"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10683"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
