Because the race pads listed are all the same, and I cannot find the early pads anywhere.
Vin 130, something 000 down is different, they say.

Well if you'd swapped to the 1.8 big brakes, you wouldn't have this worry.
Mazda may have changed the compound which would mean a different part number in the system, but the pad shape didn't change. I'll take a look at the parts fiches shortly.

"Sir, we're going to have to do a brake swap on your car instead of the pads and rotors we'd originally estimated... Price is gonna double. Internet said so"
This is interesting.
NAY1-33-23ZA is the part number for production up to 6/1 /1989 (if my Dad's old car still has the original brakes, it'll have these)
NAY1-33-23Z is from 5/19/1990 (no end date) and says "NON ASBESTOS"
NAY0-33-23ZA does not have dates but is the same number used for 1991-93. Asbestos level not specified :) These are the most expensive.
The A implies it's a superseded number, I believe, so NAY1-33-23ZA should work in place of NAY1-33-23Z. NAY1-33-23ZA and NAY1-33-23Z are both flagged as "invalid part" in the Mazda Team Support system.
So, I'm sticking with my theory of some different compound changes as I've never come across a fitment problem.
Thanks. Parts will be here Monday, and I'll be buggered if I can find a brake pad dimension guide on line. The lousy pictures I can find sure look like the same shape.
