Went to a Miata tech day and replaced a couple calipers along with new pads, rotors, and stainless lines. Flushed it with some ATE superblue and bedded the new pads in. I put Hawk HPS pads in, which have been pretty much silent so far. Stopping power is much better, the pedal is a good bit firmer, and more pressure equals more braking rather than more shimmy-ing...

ATE Super Blue is amazing just by itself. Makes a big difference. Just be aware that the Super Blue isn't street legal in Florida (assuming you live in the states) because of it's color. If that's ever an issue, you can get clear ATE brake fluid with all the same properties.

With everything else, especially the stainless lines, you should love it.

I'm in VA. I've actually been running super blue for a little while now. With this setup, I'm extremely happy. There's a ton of feel and it has just enough bite.
