I don't have Mazda 3.
But i think the question u have here is not a normal one for 99.9% of Mazda owners out here.

To mod a drum brake to disc is possible. Specially for the standard models which has both Drum and Disc.
Why not just go chop shop and ask if can chop a set of rear disc and put in your car? I'm sure the mounting make all Mazda 3 the same rite?

i can find full set of rx-7 four pot front, rear disc assemble but not sure can fit or not. but i cant find mazda 3 rear disc from half cut. coz very less halfcut from mazda. hehe

now i had put mazda rx-8 rim to my car. so i can upgrade to big disc or caliber. anyway the car not required 4 pot, drive by my gf only.

Hi. Probably can use a mps rear assembly as that is caliper. Would have to change the hand brake cables as well and probably have some custom brake hoses made up.
the master cylinder also must change but should be OK la...
