I don't think they do make calipers, but the 4 pot calipers are pretty good. they offer brembo discs, but if you want them mainly for the 'brembo' logo on your caliper, i believe you are out of luck.

^^^

the stock 4 pots are good enough. no real sense in upping them. just get some better rotors and pads w/ ss lines and thats all youll need imo.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but they really don't make calipers for specific cars, they just adapt some generic calipers to fit. Only if it's for an OEM application like for an EVO will they redesign anything, and even then it's probably just moving the mounting points or something.

You don't even need Brembo discs, the ones from NAPA or other places are just fine, even for racing, and they'll cost less than $100 for all 4. The stock 4 piston calipers are pretty darned good.

FD front calipers will fit and are a little better looking than the FC's.

caliper worn...?? worn as in it is starting to "freeze" up? not move? not clamping the pads? I do not believe. calipers usually dont go bad out of nowhere.

I think you need pads...

i personally like portafield r4s. (avail throu mazdatrix)
