Yup they are new of course. Just a generic rotor, 5 stud to match the starion. Not a track car at this stage but just playing around with what I can

Got them stored away with the old calipers at the moment. They went pretty well so I was going to keep them around, but for who knows what haha

Hey mate, cheers for that, yes what DG said, factory 5 stud on the EXs and many other late model starions. Definitely a bonus when it comes to wheel selection and things like that

The brackets bolt to the original brake mounts and to the three heat shield bolts as well. Thats what makes them leading not trailing calipers now. Willwoods are http://www.wilwood.com/Calipers/Caliper ... 20Internal

They are ridiculously light, much lighter than the stock 1 piston calipers. I'll have to have a look for the disc specs. I know they are 330 mm rotors.

The brakes currently are setup so they work so I can get the car around. Need to spend a good few hours getting them bleed properly and possible take them to my expert mechanic who builds mazda race cars to give them a tweak to make sure the car is using them to its fullest potential.
