Hi,
As I have a friend with a NA Miata and he was looking for a big brake kit, I've seen they also provide that kit with the Clio 197 calipers and 280mm discs.
Nice thing is that the discs they sell are re-drilled 280x28mm thick discs from a Nissan Almera Tino which is 5x114,3 as standard.

also I'm starting to question wether I should get some ferodo ds performance rear pads (I'm running the brembo 197 calipers on the front with 300mm discs and ds2500 pads) to balance the braking performance as some say that a step above road cheap pads on the rear makes some difference
I would buy the poworflex arb inner and outer bushes, don't be afraid that the car will feel rough- it isn't. They're just gonna last you a long time- worth it

Thx!
You probably bought the wrong calipers, parts listed in autodoc ar not always compatible, you have to double check.
But tbh, I would rebuild the old calipers with new pistons and seals plus bleed nipples. The seized nipple you have there might be removed with some serious heat on it. Not impossible
