any one know of a good brake setup that will bolt up to the 1300 front end......looking at buying one with an atmo 13b in it but it needs a brake upgrade for rego. select maz want $1,000 for a s4 upgrade kit but couldn't tell me if the stock master cylinder and booster could cope. any help wouyld be much appreciated

booster will be O.K but I'd be on the lookout for a larger tandem master cylinder.
If your going to get 4 spots on the front for $1000 do it.
I'd suggest maybe a 15/16 master to go with it.

ummm... area 51 - unless I am mistaken, Mazda 1300's didn't come with brake boosters. (I'm not an authority, and I've only had 3 of them...)
so..... what does your have?
THe earlier models seemed to be a single circuit system - avoid them like the plague. Later and aftermarket is dual circuit.

editted coz when I'm half cut I can't spell for nuts....
