Re: MazdaSpeed6 brakes - A reality at last
Haha, I figured it would get noticed a little quicker over here!
Technically, I can fit anything that will bolt up to a Probe/MX-6/626 and fit under a 16" wheel. These particular wheels offer more clearance than most, as MazdaSpeed6 brakes "require at minimum, a 17" wheel".
There are 3 designs of Mazda6 brakes, which is outlined here:

The one and only exception to the 17" wheel rule for the Speed6 brakes is the one pictured above. Myself and a member of Mazda6Club have bolted these wheels over these brakes. As far as I know, the Mazda6 member never ran the setup, only tested the fit out of curiosity.

Note: The Speed6 rotors are 12.6" across, not 12.2" as mentioned on ProbeTalk.Disc diameter:
03-05 Mazda 6 => 11.1" => Fits no problem with a 16" wheel
06-07 Mazda 6 => 11.8" => Fits no problem with a 16" wheel
06-07 MazdaSpeed 6 => 12.6" => Must have a 17" wheel minimum

Re: MazdaSpeed6 brakes - A reality at last
Thank you all, again!
WhiteFinish,
The calipers and brackets were a complete steal on Craigslist, I stumbled across them completely by accident... Finding affordable rotors was a complete nightmare, unfortunately.
I did stumble across a set of front rotors(drilled and slotted) with matching Ceramic pads that had fairly good feedback from other buyers. This pad/rotor combination(with a discount reduction) cost me almost exactly what 2 OEM quality blanks would have otherwise.
Expect to spend ~$150-200 on the calipers/brackets, $150-200 on pads/rotors, and the miscellaneous costs of wheels/5 lug conversion/bearings, etc.
In your case, you could use the Lantis parts and save a lot right off the top... I'm not sure about availability of MS6 brake parts in Europe though.
