CorkSport Big Brake calipers provide the ultimate in stopping power for your Mazda. Crafted from extremely lightweight billet aluminum, the CorkSport calipers use an opposed-piston design that is fixed to provide greatly improved pad wear, and caliper rigidity over the OEM design. At just over 7 lbs, the aluminum CorkSport Big Brake Kit shaves almost 8 lbs of unsprung weight off each corner of your Mazda, all while adding more stopping power and a much better pedal feel. Available in 3 anodized colors, this brake system includes everything you need to easily upgrade your stock braking system and includes: High strength steel brackets, calipers, stainless steel braided front brake lines, brake pads, and all necessary hardware. Just install and go, no searching for extra parts or ordering additional items. Fits2004-2013 Mazda 3 and Mazdaspeed 3 2007-2013 with the use of OEM sized Mazdaspeed 3 rotors.
With aluminum pistons, and dual high-temperature O-rings instead of fragile dust boots, the CorkSport Big Brake Calipers are perfect for daily driving, spirited runs in the mountains or track day fun.
The CorkSport Advantage:
Note: Track use and/or extreme heat can fade the anodization resulting in a silver/gold finish. This does not affect performance of the brake kit.
**New or resurfaced rotors are strongly recommended with the installation of this product**
**Mazda 3 Installation requires the rotors to be upgraded to Mazdaspeed 3 Rotors**
**Requires 5mm spacers when the caliper kit is installed on stock Mazdaspeed 3 wheels**

I only have a few quick miles on them, so far though they feel really good. I previously was using Hawk HPS blue pads which had a somewhat aggressive bite to them compared to the pads in this kit. The CS pads don't feel as aggressive but maybe that'll change as I break in the new setup.
Compliments from the service techs who installed them, thanks for a great product CS!
CorkSport Reply:Please check our FAQ for an answer to your question.
Inb4 this gets deleted because of the poor review
>>>CorkSport Reply: Matthew did you use a track set of brake pads with the kit? The brake pads included are for the street/autox not the track.
CorkSport Reply: It only requires a Mazdaspeed 3 Rotor to work with a standard Mazda 3. Nothing else required.
Some questions asked in this post said yes to fitting a 2015 Mazda 3 and then others say it will not. Looking at these for a 2018 Mazda 3 will these fit or do I have to shell out the extra $400 for the gen 3 bbk?
This kit is specific to the first and second gen and is not guaranteed to fit the 2018. We strongly advise buying the kit designed for your car.
Can I get a repair seal kit?
Yes, give us a call or send an email to get taken care of!
Will this fit my BK 05 Mazda 3 2.0L?
You will have to run MPS/Speed 3 rotors but should be fine
I am reading the pads can be the oem pads and in other areas it is saying the wrx tr pads. Which is it?
2006-2007 Subaru WRX TR and Nissan 300ZX Z32 Pads which are the profile of Hawk HB700 or G-Loc GP460. The FMSI # is D460. Stock Mazdaspeed 3 pads do not fit.
Will these fit inside enkei rpf1 18x8 +35 offset wheel?
We recommend using the wheel template at the link below to confirm wheel fitment. Each wheel is different and the only way to know for sure is to try it with the template before you install the kit. https://corksport.com/support/instructions/AXL-3-412-Mazdaspeed-BBK-Wheel-Fitment-Guide.pdf
Will these fit a 2007 CX-7? Thx
We have not had a chance to do a test fit.
I know I can use my stock rotors, but where can I buy brake pads for this? It no longer uses the stock pads correct? Can I only get them though you?
Pads are available from man sources and compounds. It is the same profile as the Hawk #HB700
Can I still use my spare with these calipers?
No
I wanted to match up color of big brake front calipers with OEM rear. Can OEM calipers be painted to match?
Sure
Will these fit inside 17x7 rims with the DBA 4000 T3 slotted rotors?
Depends on the offset as well. They will fit on 17's diameter wise, but, you may need spacers if the offset is too far in.
Does this kit include only 2 front calipers or calipers for all 4 corners of the car? And are the calipers all 4 piston calipers? If this kit includes only 2 calipers can I buy 2 of these kits so I can have corksport big brakes on the front and rear of the car
This is only for the front... They would not work for the rear due to the design of the rear brake. It has the parking brake integrated into it. We do not offer a kit for the rear.
Do these calipers use a different type of brake pad or is it the same type the stock calipers use? (The one with metal hooks on the top and bottom of the pad with the clips for the piston side. Thanks.)
It uses its own pads, the OEMs are no longer used.
Will these fit a 2009 mazda5? Mazda3 and mazda5 share exactly the same front calipers so this big brake kit should fit provided to upgrade the rotors to a mazdaspeed3 ones right?
Based off what I know about the cars similarities, it should fit. When the right rotors are installed. Although, we not yet tested this so I cannot guarantee it.
Will these calipers fit on a stock MS6?
Unfortunately these are for the 3/MS3 only. We have a Mazdaspeed 6 specific kit on or webpage.
Since some parts are interchangeable with Mazda/Mazdaspeed6, will these fit on a mazda6?
We have a Mazda 6/Mazdaspeed 6 kit available. You have to use Speed 6 rotors with it.
Will this fit on 2015 mazda 3?
It does not fit. We do have a Kit for the 2014+ Models available https://corksport.com/2014-mazda-3-big-brake-kit.html
Will this fit 2014+ Mazda 3 sedan (Skyactiv 2.0L) ?
Yes it does with the addition of the Mazdaspeed 3 brake rotors.
does the brakes work with DBA 4000 T3 rotors ?
Yes the kit does.
Hi what Rotor need to be picked up to this complete set
Stock size Mazdaspeed 3 rotors
Hi what Rotor need to be picked up to this complete set
If you have a regular Mazda 3, then you will need to source a Mazdaspeed rotor. If you have a Mazdaspeed, then they are a direct bolt on.

You posted in 2013 that these use the TR WRX spec pads now you say Mazdaspeed 3 spec pads work. Did you redesign the calipers or is there a typo somewhere in your posts? Also, the photos look as if these have quick change pads that do not require removal of the caliper. Is this the case?
What you see listed is our CS pads that come with the BBK. They are not a quick release pad.

good day what brake discs you need to install on the CORKSPORT Mazdaspeed 3 / Mazda 3 Big Brake Caliper Kit
good day what brake discs you need to install on the CORKSPORT Mazdaspeed 3 / Mazda 3 Big Brake Caliper Kit
If you have a Mazdaspeed 3, you will use the OEM rotors. If you have a regular Mazda 3, then you will need to source a Mazdaspeed rotor to make it work.
My stock brakes on my 2013 Mazdaspeed3 are squealing when stopping at every stop light because of brake dust in the calipers. Are the Corksport big brakes prone to the same fate or will they keep the dust out and be quiet?
Our big brake kit has proven to be quiet, and increase performance. You will never be able to get rid of brake dust in the caliper unless you change to a pad that has a much better compound resulting in less dust.
Possible to get track pads instead of street pads ?
Unfortunately not. However, you could easily find whatever hawk pads you wanted to run the kit.
Check EBC " Yellow Stuff" pads As soon as they get hot, these pads will freeze your car
since these will fit on a mazda3 if upgraded to mazdaspeed rotors, will they fit on cx5 if the rotors are upgraded as well? thanks!
Not sure if they will fit as i have not had anyone try that out yet. I would say that they will fit no problems, but no promises on that!
Will a 17" rim fit over these calipers?
It shouldn't be a problem, but i would print this template to make sure that you will have no problems. http://www.corksport.com/support/instructions/Mazdaspeed3%20Brake%20Template.pdf
I'm looking to purchase the blue caliper. Do you offer or can you give me the pantone color so I can paint the rear the same as the front? Do you have the paint color in house for purchase to paint the rear caliper?
The calipers are anodized so a color match will be pretty tough. Check out the link below on the section of color matching between painting/anodizing. http://www.omwcorp.com/understandingano/anoindex.html
Will this fit 2014+ Mazda 3 sedan (Skyactiv 2.0L) ?
It will not. We are working on a 2014+ kit currently.
Will this fit on 2015 mazda 3?
It will not. We are working on a 2014+ kit currently.
How is the brake bias affected when installing this on a Speed3 that is still using the oem rear brakes?
The brake balance is very good with the 4 piston kit, easy to modulate at the limit.
Will it fit 2014 new mazda 3 BM 2.0L model ??
It will not. We are working on a 2014+ kit currently.
Does the stock 2009 Mazdaspeed3 wheels fit on this brake kit?
They do not. They require 5mm spacers
Do the pads contact 100% of the rotor surface? The Wilwood kits do not.
The kit does not.
Will this work for a 2003.5 mazdaspeed protege? Since the Mazda 6 brake bolts up to a msp.
This specific kit will not. The Mazdaspeed 6 kit we offer could be used with the correct rotors.
Will they fit on a 2006 Mazda 3gt hatchback?
They will fit but you need to upgrade the rotors to Mazdaspeed 3 rotors.
Will it fit or work with 2012 mazda 3 hatch back skyactive? And can it work for rear break as well
They will fit the 2012-2013 Mazda 3 Skyactiv models when you install them with Mazdaspeed 3 rotors. They do not fit the rear, there is no provision for a parking brake.
R they as good as brembo brakes?
That is an apples to oranges comparison. The brembo kit uses larger rotors and costs twice as much.
These fit with stock wheels/rotors on Mazdaspeed?
It fits the stock wheel/rotor setup on a Mazdaspeed 3.
Is there any difference between the mazda 3 version and the speed3 version? Do they both use the same rotor dimensions?
The Mazda 3 and Mazdaspeed 3 version are the same, but the Mazda 3 version requires upgraded rotors.
So to put on all four i would need to buy a quantity of 2?
This ONLY works with the front, it will NOT work with the rear calipers.
Will it fit on mazda3 2004 (BK3P , No mazda speed)? I live in Japan.I own mazda3 of japanese model.
Yes it should work.
Is the kit ($799) for all four corners or front or rear only?
It is for the fronts.
