Are you taking about a Mk1 ? If so, yes, it is just the carrier that is needed. However, some are of the belief that stock 1.6 disks with genuine Mazda brake pads are just as good.

I have no experience of hydro handbrakes. But thinking about it, the 1.8 conversion still uses the stock 1.6 calipers so, for hydro purposes at least, are the 1.8 disks/pads really an upgrade for handbrake purposes ? I don't know the answer but maybe something to look into perhaps ?
