99 RZ rear calipers

Hello all. I've tried contacting Ramy, MoreJapan, and a few other Japanese vendors to no avail, and some shops here state-side. Even went as far as emailing Inukai from RE-Amemiya (he still works and drives for them, if anyone is wondering), but they don't have any spare rear calipers at the shop. I also have sent in my Mazdaspeed registration form, complete with pictures from stock until now to try to get sponsored so i could get the rear calipers from them. . . I really don't need their sponsorship since the car is done. . . I just need the RZ rear calipers. . . and you can buy directly from them. . . if you have an account. . .

Does anyone have a lead, or a contact that I could get in touch with for those rear calipers? That's the only thing missing from my car at the moment. I've exhausted all the resources I have via emails, pm's, and the likes. If anyone knows anyone, or a shop that has access to 99 spec rear calipers, please leave a response, or PM me.

After 4 years in the making, i am stopped (pun intended) by lack of brakes. Thanks in advance for your help!

I tried, but no response in 3 months. I re-emailed my app to them after a month, but no dice:

No response from them, so it makes me sad

I'm sure you've tried Corksport but throwing it out there.

Unfortunately, Mazdamotorsports is really busy right now working with actual racers....and those of with accounts do NOT want to get caught abusing it and cancelled. Otherwise I'd be happy to order a set for you.

Yea, Corksport was the first company i emailed around January, but never got a price in stone. Tried Ramy, and all of our vendors and what not

And yea, I called Mazda Comp like a week ago, and they also told me that they were quite preoccupied, and apologized, but there's no estimated timeframe as to when they'd review my application, even though it was submitted back in Feb. Which i can understand, so no hard feelings to them or anything.

Bummer. I'll keep trying to ring them though. Thanks Peter

would you happen to have his name or extension? You can pm it to me to keep confidentiality if you wish. I'd really appreciate it!

OK screw it bro. Sell the rotors and just buy the RB rear brake kit that they released.

How about that? i'll hook you up. Takes 4-6 weeks to build.

Same pad as the US spec caliper.

Ever hear of a phone?

After 3 weeks of waiting I called them. Poor guys. Its 3 of them taking care of 10,000 racers. Give them a call and come prepared with the date you sent the email, subject and the other info they might ask about and talk to them. They will set you up.

Corksport had fronts and rears in stock when I ordered them a few months ago.
