{"product_id":"ksport-bkmz020-332so","title":"98-03 Mazda 323  Front 3 Piston Big Brake Kit w\/ 13 in. Slotted Rotors  Slimline","description":"The new Ksport Slimline Mazda 323 Big Brake Kit ensures that you can upgrade to a Big Brake Kit and have it fit most factory wheels, or wheels with very limited brake caliper clearance. The popularity of aggressive fitting wheels on factory body vehicles has never been more popular than it is today. In most cases, aftermarket big brake kits aren’t compatible with this style. Large multi-piston brake calipers just don’t fit within the very limited spacing between the larger brake caliper and the back of the wheel. Ksport has developed the Slimline Caliper with this issue in mind, a design that’s based on the OEM single-side floating piston caliper thickness.\u003cbr\u003e The Slimline Big Brake systems are designed for easy installation with minimal tools required in most applications. Kits come standard with everything needed for installation, including: Calipers, Floating Brake Disc, Brake Pads, and all required hardware. For those looking for a brake kit that aligns with aggressive fitting wheels on a factory body vehicle, the Slimline Mazda 323 Big Brake Kit is the ideal choice.\u003cbr\u003e This system is appropriate for 17″ wheels and above.\u003ch4 class=\"kp_color\"\u003eLightweight Forged One-Piece Caliper\u003c\/h4\u003e Our extremely lightweight forged one-piece calipers feature 1-piece construction from a solid billet of aerospace quality aluminum rather than being cast or welded together. This provides perfectly even thicknesses and strength over every part of the Caliper block to eliminate weak spots which lead to fracturing, warpage, and failure over time. Caliper pistons are made from aluminum and protected with heavy-duty seals designed to handle racetrack temperatures. Better heat transference ensures pistons slide smoothly and evenly without drag, and aluminum construction ensures caliper operation remains uncompromised by corrosion over time. Additionally, an opposed-piston design ensures brake pad grip and wear remain consistent on both sides of the rotor. High Temperature Seals, Titanium Brake Pad Retainer Clips and Stainless-Steel Brake Pad Wear Plates are also standard on each Caliper design in the Slimline Mazda 323 Big Brake Kit.\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwo-Piece Rotor Design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e All Slimline Big Brake systems feature two-piece rotors to provide light weight, fade-free performance and effective grip on the racetrack and comfortable, easy-to-use operation under normal driving conditions. The rotor design is extremely lightweight when compared to OEM one-piece rotors, commonly weighing up to 50% less than OEM rotors of the same size. Lightweight center sections crafted from 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum give you the benefit of lower rotational mass  making wheels easier to stop and giving you the instant snap of brake response that’s proper for high performance driving. Because the outer section of the two-piece rotor can expand and contract independently from the center section, chances of the entire rotor warping due to heat buildup are greatly reduced. And since aluminum is a better conductor of heat, the center sections serve as effective heat sinks by passing heat away faster to the air and to the hub assembly.Combined, these two factors give them a much longer service life than traditional one-piece rotors. Every rotor is always heat treated and balanced before shipment for the best performance. Since Cross Drilled rotors run cooler than slotted, we recommend them for daily driven vehicles. For vehicles that will be seeing more track use than daily driving, we recommend Slotted Rotors.\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"smallStrong142\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ksportusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Cross-Drilled-Rotors.jpg\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"alignleft wp-image-34048 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ksportusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Cross-Drilled-Rotors.jpg\" alt=\"Cross Drilled Rotors\" width=\"75\" height=\"75\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003eCross Drilled Rotors\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e We recommend Cross Drilled rotors for daily driven vehicles since they tend to run cooler than slotted.
