Searchy searchy There are a lot of aftermarket brake kits/upgrades available that are direct replacements.

Here are a few:

There is no need to upgrade the calipers unless you are heavily tracking the car. Even then there are things to do before getting to that point. If you want to overhaul your brake system (and if you haven't yet, it's probably due), check out the kit at Rotary Performance:

I know that the lug pattern is the same and the offset is similar on the 4th gen.

But the calipers on the 3rd gen are way better than anything on the mazda6. The speed6 has larger rotors but still have a single piston caliper.
