Hi you have obviously tried eBay ,you may well find that the sensor is common to other vehicles, maybe the Mazda 623 or even the mx5 ,worth a try Regards mushman

Hi Mushman Is it a rear or front caliper? My mechanic is having problems with my rear passenger caliper and has said that it will need replacing. Cheers.

Thanks for your prompt reply I may do the same Regards mushman

That’s awesome. Thank you. Soldering I’m very happy with.

Thanks @Rax. That’s very useful. I suspect it’s the rears that have gone.

I thought I'd revive this thread..... I'm presently swapping out the 4 stud hubs for 5 stud and I'm going to have a play with getting some audi s3 320mm discs and rx8 calipers to fit the front of the mx3. I'll post some pics up here when I get the calipers.

Seems fairly normal. Both my UK spec 95s had no adjustment. Both my JDMs did.

3 Month delay on those coilovers, not going to be placing an order with them. The search continues Jono

Our cars share a number of parts with the Ford Escort. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Energy-Suspension-Rear-Trailing-Arm-Bushings-Ford-Escort-1997-2001-4-7123BL-ENE-/151226989005?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Make%3AFord These fit just fine.

Thak you bro!" ,i'm so glad you did look for me . :cheers: :rimshot: (i 'm a bass player but i dedicate a rimshot to your kindness) Code is different from what i found though , .. same staff ?? KYSM5044 you mentioned i dont find in Europe, here i find KYB SM5305 . (not sure , it seems the same piece just the photo in the opposite side) I will have to check my old suspensions (in a little garage of a friend) to see if i have (would be luck) but i doubt those support are included with suspensions.

most shocks will work fine with a drop of 25mm or even 40mm, dont think anone here has had a shock problem by lowering, just stick with standards they will be fine

How much does it take it down as I live in the land of speed bumps and stupid curbs.

Decided to take the car to a good garage the other day. They too couldn't get the existing caliper to work and confirmed the replacement is not for this vehicle. To be honest I'm sure the mechanism has broken or possibly seized like has been said. Finally after several emails and phone calls, the company who sold me the recon caliper have said they sent the wrong one and will ship a new one and collect the wrong one. So waiting for that to turn up now. Then to decide weather to have a play at rebuilding it properly (as in get some proper deep and thin circlip pliers) or send it in for 15 squid ;) ) Thank you ALL for the advice, hopefully I'll post up soon with a new MOT! PS its bloody cold on a by cycle at 530am!! :lol:

Again, this may be of use http://www.carlsalter.com/wheel_fitments.html

@d40a6c1378=youdirtyfox: Why are you taking axle stands to get married?! LOL . Glad you got it sorted out though Bud. I'll let you pick the reason :) Either: I need the AZ3 gone before that, so I need the axle stands to get the wheels off. or I need the axle stands on jacks to move my massive belly down the isle :P
