How do you know J-Auto is out of business?

Get in touch with Ray Crowe - there is a thread in the FS section noting his contact information. He can get you what you need.

Another seller has OEM for 74.92 each free shipping and if you buy three you get five bucks off the total. Just search the part number. You can re use the dust seals if you're careful taking them off. No matter where you get them, plan on spending a minimum of 80 bucks each. X 6 = $480.00. ☹️

Did he have any idea when the new batch would be done? I was thinking of going the J-auto pillow-ball route...

I just put all new OEM Mazda pillow ***** in mine, only took a couple business days to receive them from Mazda. (Made in Japan FTW)

If you race your Mazda and apply for the Motorsports program, you can get parts for your car at a relatively healthy discount... F Y I.

I second this. Bought from him many times, service was always great. Maybe hes a bit backed up due to the holidays and stuff...
