Fitment on a used brake varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
The MX-5 has run across four generations: NA (1989–1997), NB (1998–2005), NC (2005–2015), and ND (2015–present). Brakes are generation-specific, so a set from the right generation is your starting point when asking a breaker for a quote. Mixing generations is very unlikely to work without modification, so always confirm the exact generation with the breaker against your registration.
This crosses the NB-to-NC generation boundary, which ran from 2005 onward, so a 2004 car is NB and a 2006 car is NC — these are different generations with different brake assemblies. You should not assume parts from a 2004 NB will fit a 2006 NC. Give the breaker both registrations and let them confirm compatibility before buying.
Yes, engine size can affect brake specification on the MX-5 — larger-engined variants sometimes carried uprated discs and calipers to suit the extra power. When contacting a breaker, always quote your engine size (for example 1.6 or 1.8 on the NB, or 2.0 on the NC and ND) alongside your registration. This helps them match the correct brake components rather than supplying a smaller-engined car's setup.
Trim level alone — such as Icon, Sport, or Venture — does not fundamentally change the brake fitment category, because what matters is generation and engine size rather than the trim name. That said, some sport-oriented specifications may have carried upgraded brakes, so confirm with the breaker against your registration if you are unsure whether your car has a sport brake package. Expect minor cosmetic differences such as caliper colour, which will not affect function.
The NC ran from 2005 to 2015 and is broadly one generation, but there were mid-generation updates during that period that may have introduced brake specification changes. Whether parts from an early NC interchange freely with a later NC is something you should confirm with the breaker against your specific registration rather than assume. Quoting your registration and engine size gives the breaker the best chance of supplying the correct parts.
Yes, front and rear calipers are handed, so NS (nearside, left) and OS (offside, right) are not interchangeable. When asking a breaker for a quote, always specify which corner of the car you need — NS front, OS rear, and so on. Getting the side wrong means the caliper bleed nipple and hydraulic port will be in the wrong position and the part will not fit correctly.
