I'm ordering a gasket and springs for my exhaust (which has a leak) from rockauto.com

I tried finding the parts @ protegegarage first but...I couldn't find any of them.
I emailed their customer service about a week ago. Have yet to hear back from them.

I need to replace the cable that goes to each of the rear wheels and the other long cable. Which items do I need from this list?

I just realized that the bottom 2 items say they're for drum brakes; and my 02 mazda protege ES has disc brakes on all 4 tires. Is the parking break a drum brake? because this is what their catalog says is a match for my car

The front parking brake cable is the same for cars with drum brakes on the back, and cars with disc brakes on the back (like yours). The rear brake cables are different, however. The Mazda part numbers are as follows:

Driver Side: B25D-44-420C
Passenger Side: B25D-44-410C

If you go to onlinemazdaparts.com, they are about $38/each. Sorry man, it doesn't look like anyone makes aftermarket parking brake cables for the Proteges with 4-wheel disc brakes.

When they say 'w/out disc brakes', do they mean the cables are for drum brakes?

Or does 'w/ disc brakes' mean it actually comes with new disc brakes...i just need the cable...
