Synlubes Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 Can anyone tell me what the piston sizes are in these calipers? How about a referene to the Toyota 4x4 truck vented rotor calipers? I know the Mazda calipers are alumium (good thing) and the mounting ears are farther apart, thats not an issue. Pad size for these Mazda calipers vs the Toyota calipers mentioned above?

Guest Magnum Rockwilder Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 FYI, the 91 non-turbos also had the TII aluminum 4 piston calipers. I have a 90 GTU and 91 non turbo coupe. Can't help you with the measurements, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennysgreen280zt Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 Pistons for the mazda calipers are 38mm, I havent actually measured a set myself, but just asked a friend who had a pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zcarnut Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 The pistons from a four piston Mazda caliper that I have measure only 36mm in diameter. By comparison, the Toyota 4x4 calipers have two pistons measuring 42.7mm and two that are 34mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zed240au Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 will measure the two calipers and let you know difference i have a set of mazda callipers nice and light am running the late toyota 4x4 calipers at the moment main difference i can see is pad area i believe the toyotas would have bigger pads and i had just bought new pads for the toyotas before buying the mazda calipers but am still tempted by the weight of them mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
