Who's running '99 fronts? pads?

I seem to be changing my mind on a weekly basis on which brake setup to do! My latest idea involves '99 calipers all around with 2 piece rotors in front and oem rotors in back. Where can I find pads for the front? Any recommendations? I will need street pads and pads for the track. TIA- Garrett

The 99 calipers use the same pads as the 93-95 calipers. You will need to order the oem pads to get the M-springs for the fronts. The Mazda OEM pads make good street pads anyway.

Strange, I just got off the phone with corksport and he said the front pads were different, as in I would have to order pads from overseas??

The might be "different" in terms of compound, and therefore part number, but it's the same pad shape. All the '99 calipers are is the 93-95 calipers with longer mounting tabs on them.

Well, they're wider too.
