Europeanspecs FC Brakes

I drive a european/germanspecs FC Nonturbo and want to upgrade my brakesystem.

Here in europe/Netherlands I can only find Ferodo brakepads, but I'd like to get some cross-drilled disks and brakelines.

These rotors and brakelines are only available overseas as far as I can tell.

But in america they have different specs regarding the brakesystem, like in 4lug and 5 lug pattern, 4caliper and 4piston brakes.
So I don't know what to order (turbo/nonturbo?)

I don't know which system I have, all I know is dat it has a 5-lug(bolt) pattern on the disks and pretty large calipers with large letters "MAZDA" molden vertically on them. and my rear disks are also vented and not massive


Can anyone help me?

Thanx

There are two different types of Calipers for the FC.
Yours are 4piston aluminium calipers also refered to as the Turbo brakes in some webshop.

I can highly reccomend Hawk HP+ (dusts like hell and squeals but stops like nothing else) or KWR Performance Carbon pads (No dust, doesnt squeal, good braking power but needs a little warming up)
