What are my options (sources) nowadays for front brake caliper replacement?
For that matter, what are the best options for front rotor replacement, too?
Car is mostly original.

thanks!

 

for calipers, rebuild yours, its really easy

for rotors anything you can find is fine, they all come from the same factory anyways

 

Yup a front caliper rebuild is straightforward. Rebuild kit and hardware available from Mazda dealership. Unless you find really corroded or pitted pistons, everything should be useable.

For rotor/wheel bearing situation, get new OEM grease seals from Mazda and I find that Rockauto has a good collection of the proper quality wheel bearings.

 

AutoZone sells remanufactured brake calipers in bracketed for $49.99 plus core charge and unbracketed for $39.99 plus core

 

Good luck with that!

 

If you have the money techno toy tuning has Wilwood kits for the FB..
