What do I need to change my rear brakes (drums) to a disc brake system on my mazda protege 99?
4-Lug Rear Drum to Disc Conversion

All US version 4 lug cars have front discs and rear drums. Swapping to rear discs is not impossible, but quite

difficult due to parts availability.

The rear rotors and hubs will have to be imported from an Euro 323 or Japanese Familia with 4 lugs. The front

discs can be swapped with the larger 10.2%26quot; ones from a 1999-2000 ES or 2002 DX/LX. The front brake brake

rotors and calipers from the larger front brake car is strongly recommended.

Assuming, you have done the front brake upgrade, those parts are needed to perform the swap properly:

BJ4T-43-40Z Master brake cylinder

BL8M-43-800 Brake booster

BJ3K-26-261 Right side dust shield (must be imported)

BJ3K-26-271 Left side dust shield (must be imported)

9975-61-016 Dust shield mounting bolts, 3 per side

BKZT-26-98Z Right side caliper (includes mounting bracket, caliper bolts)

BKZT-26-99Z Left side caliper (includes mounting bracket, caliper bolts)

9975-61-035 Caliper mounting bracket bolts, 2 per side

BK1T-43-980 Brake line (same for both sides)

B001-43-694A Banjo bolt

9956-21-000 Banjo bolt washers, 2 per side

GE7C-44-410D Right side ebrake cable

GE7C-44-420D Left side ebrake cable

GA2B-44-375A Cable clips for the E-Brake

B26Y-26-251 Rear brake rotor left/right (must be imported)

GJ21-33-042B Wheel hub nut (can be reused from drum brake hub)

BKYT-26-43Z Pad set

The following are for non-ABS equiped cars:

BK1T-26-111 Rear right spindle hub/knuckle (must be imported)

BK1T-26-115 Rear left spindle hub/knuckle (must be imported)

B455-26-071 Hub cap (can be reused from drum brake hub)

The following are for ABS equiped cars (wheel sensors to be reused):

BJ3K-26-111 Rear right spindle hub/knuckle (must be imported)

BJ3K-26-115 Rear left spindle hub/knuckle (must be imported)

B603-26-15XB Wheel hub (can be reused from drum brake hub)

%26quot;I do not recommend performing this swap with all new parts as it will be extremely

expensive. Pull most of those parts off of a wrecked 4 wheel disc brake Proteg茅 and get

the rest that aren't available.%26quot;

You can also get the larger European brakes instead, substituting some of the parts listed above:

GEZC-26-98ZA Right side caliper (includes mounting bracket, caliper bolts

GEZC-26-99ZA Left side caliper (includes mounting bracket, caliper bolts)

B26Y-26-251 Rear brake rotor

GGYB-26-43Z Rear brake pad set

BW2J-43-900C Proportioning valve

BL4G-43-800 Brake booster
