Default Rear caliper non sport piston source
Does anyone have any calipers or pistons in good shape for the rear ? My car sat for a year and this is what I found.

autozone caliper looks ok but the piston looks bad. don't trust it. i rather get an overhaul kit rebuild and delete the parking brake adjuster.

I second Centric from RockAuto. Couple mechanic shops around me like to use Centric stuff.

i thought Mazda used stainless piston. These centric ones look like autozone pistons. I went to see the autozone ones. Trust me they will last half a season on the track car.

Well its a small market part, so its likely one manufacture marked under multiple brands.
