Question 1999 Type RS brake question

Hey guys,

recently purchased a '99 Type RS model from Japan.
This one comes with bigger brakes from factory which need to be exchanged so I wanted to check before I order parts.
I found:

F124-33-25XA the part number for my front discs and
F124-26-25XA the part number for my rear discs

Is this correct?
If so, I also need to upgrade pads. Does anyone know which pads fit my brake system? OEM part number would be fine - or an alternative for (rare!) track events.

Those appear to be the correct rotors. I purchased pads for a standard US FD fitment and they fit my larger brakes.

some more discussion here: https://www.rx7club.com/suspension-w...parts-1131145/

as noted in the thread, if you buy OEM mazda pads you will want to get the 17” brake part number as the springs they include are different between the 2 brake sets.

Thanks for the fast reply!
So the rotors should be fine.

I guess I want to stick with OEM pads.
With the second part of your answer, do you mean this part: F1Z4-33-29Z (Mazda OEM 17 inch Brake Attachment Pad FD3S) ?

That is correct and confirmed in the thread below. The rears are the same regardless of brake size.

Thank you very much!
So to sum things up, to overhaul my brake system I'd need:

2 x F124-33-25XA 17 inch Front disc rotors
2 x F124-26-25XA Rear disc rotors
2 x F1Z4-33-29Z 17 inch front attachments
2 x FDY1-26-49Z Rear attachments

Correct?
For the pads I found FDZ3-33-28ZA for front brake pads and FDY1-26-48Z for the rear. Does this all fit together: 17 inch rotors, front/rear attachments, regular pads for 93-95 models?

Consider ordering the Spirit-R rotors if you want drilled fronts They might be pricy tho.

I purchased lower end dixcel slotted rotors for the front of mine. Around $300 for the pair if I recall, plus expensive shipping from Japan though.

The car has to go through initial homologation in my country which is pretty strict and OEM parts cause the least trouble, that's why I need to go this route for now.

Could anyone confirm the part numbers for the pads?
Also: Do I need to purchase 2x each of the attachment pads or do they come in a pair for each axle anyways?

Wondering the same. Did you ever figure out if you need 2 or 1? According to the japanese parts pdf it seems to say that it's both sides.
