FC rear-calipers?

Are the rear-calipers on FC's with 4-piston front calipers the same as FC's with single piston front calipers? I know that FC's with 4-piston front calipers have vented REAR rotors, and single piston front caliper models did NOT have vented rotors.

Try looking up the part number for each caliper on the Mazdatrix website. Same number = same part.

The rear calipers have e-brake cables attached to them.

ANSWER, no they are different. The width is different and they are slightly larger, although the pads are the same for all rear.
