anyone have the part number for the 99 spec RS/RZ pads, front and rear?

rynberg

Damian, the fronts are: F1Z4-33-23Z

The rear pads are no longer listed on MazdaMotorsports, I think Mazda is changing the part number.

rynberg

Nope, but Manny (SleepR1) probably does.

Damian,

I was in the group buy. When I get home I will see what my box said and post the part numbers that are on mine. That may or may not help you.

damian

that would be great, thanks!!!

rotaryextreme

Yeah, for the larger rear brake. I got the part numbers from a Japanese dealer

I think the pads are the same as the stock rear one though, at least the size is. I don't know if they changed the compound.

The part number I gave you was for the RZ/RS brake pads when I asked the Japanese dealer to give me a parts list for the 99 spec rear brakes. I have part numbers of all the components if you need any of them.

If there is really a RS/RZ compound, I doubt they are any better than the Hawks. Most OEM brake pads are jokes. The price for the rear brake pad is 110,000 Yen. Pretty damn expensive if you can't get them from Mazda Comp anymore. Mazda comp can get those pads cheaper than the Japanese list price.

Damian,

damn!!! You think you covered everything. I go to look through my boxes and come to find that I was never sent the rear pads. I also opened my other box and find that I didn't get sent all the splash guards!!!

Yup, Chuck's part number is correct for the J-spec Type RS/RZ rear brake pads. FWIW, the Type RS/RZ pad material is different than the US spec pad material. Type RS/RZ is much better for open track--about as good as EBC Green Stuffs. Your experience may vary. I'm very easy on brakes (I brake as little as possible to carry as much speed through the turn as possible).

Mazdaspeed Motorsports Development price for Type RS/RZ pads fr/rr is about the same as EBC Green Stuffs fr/rr too ($131 from Mazdespeed for Type RS/RZ pads, $150 fr/rr for EBC Green Stuffs from Tire Rack).

I get new front/rr Type RS/RZ pad sets from Mazdaspeed Motorsports to get new front caliper M-springs, and shims for both fr/rr--these parts are included with the factory Type RS/RZ pad sets.

Works out to every other set alternate between EBCs and Type RS/RZs LOL.

cool, thanks manny

Does anyone know where to get replacement pads for the RS/RZ 99+ brakes these days besides Mazda Motorsports?

I'd be particularly interested in some EBC greens but haven't found a place that has the correct size in stock.

Thanks.

rynberg

Alberto,

The '99 brakes use the same pad size as the 93-95 brakes do. I would not be surprised if Mazda is using the same compound for all of their brake pads now, given the way they view parts for these cars.

I'm running the "Rs/Rz" pads at the rear -- they don't dust very much at all, certainly not compared to the HP+ I was running....

7racer

rynberg,

are you sure. I know the rears are the same but the fronts are different.

damian

iTrader: (2)

yeah, my understanding is that they were the same size all around, just the rz/rs front calipers are wider for the wider rotor, and the ra/rz rear calipers are placed a bit further out for the larger diameter rear rotors, but the actual pads size never changed. The m spring clips for the front changed since they needed to accomodate the wider caliper.

7racer

thanks! I'll take a look at a set of hawk hps i have sitting in the garage and rz pads and post back.

Not to be pushy or anything, but anyone know for certain?
