Hey guys, due to a string of unfortunate events my rear right caliper has become mangled.

No it is not in rebuildable shape.

Looking at the Mazda Parts catalog there are a few different options

1 is a remanufactured caliper

FA18-26-610R-XC is "Reman Cal+Cored"

while

FA18-26-610R is "Reman, Cyl (R), RR WHL"

Both are the same price, what is the difference?

The new one's part number is FA18-26-980B but its like 300 dollars

 

Fay8-26-98zr is what Mazdatrix has listed. The numbers in the factory parts catalog are probably outdated.

Cool thanks doc. I was going off what mazda motorsports had listed in their online catalogs to order.

From them they say a rebuilt caliper is like 75 bucks, which makes me wonder.... since mazdatrix has them for 180

 

Mazdatrix's pricing is high on a lot of items. Might want to try Malloy Mazda. I heard they give a decent discount to club members.
