Online Mazda Parts.com

Hey guys,

Just a quick question, was looking at onlinemazdaparts.com, and i noticed they have different parts and prices for 2 categories of RX8's. They come under either "with sports suspension" or "without sports suspension". ive noticed this with alot of US sites, and was wondering how i can tell which one i have, or are all Aus 8's the same? I was of the belief that all AUS 8's are categorised as "with sports suspension" but i just wanted to make sure before i order. Might be a stupid question, but i was once told that "there are no stupid questions.....just stupid people".

Thanks guys.

Ash.

I was just checking things out, but I remember Front Brake Rotors and Front Pads being approx $270 AUD, delivered to your front door. Thats a pretty impressive saving. I cant see pads being more than $100??? Definately worth yr time checking it out though.

Just had my 50k service and it looks like my front rotors are "shot"

Looks like I'll be needing both the front rotors and pads. Which one do i order? the one with sports suspension or the one without?

** Should have read the thread more thoroughly, thanks Drewman **

Prob being a heavy item.

I just ordered the ignition coil, cabin filter (which is never changed - Thanks Melbouren City Mazda), and the fuel filter (I dunno I order the right parts, but it was only $14USD, and there is nothing in the service manual nor in this forum about fuel filter change. I remember that astro has his done because he mixes oil before (). I must go and talk to him.
