If your car is track only, I'd strongly suggest that you only use genuine Mazda caliper kits. The rubbers in the after market ones don't like the heat and will degrade very quickly.
I buy my Mazda parts online through Amayama.

Re: NB8B front caliper rebuild help
Mine is a track only car, so only does heavy braking. Not all aftermarket seals are of inferior quality to genuine.
Car manufactures don't make seals, bearings, pumps, etc, etc, & probably don't make any brake parts. Many so called 'aftermarket' parts worldwide would be the exact same part, or a part of equal quality as 'genuine'. But of course, you don't know. I've bought genuine from Amayama, but I'll also buy aftermarket locally if it's not cheap & I trust the supplier.
