Replacing Apex cost?

Ok so I thought about selling the car but I'm deciding to keep it and have it rebuilt. I'm sure some of you guys had this done. What's a reliable site for me to find apex for my 04 RX8? Thanks in advance.

RotaryResurrection is the cheapest quality rebuild out there.

You will have to re-adjust your frame of reference about it just being "apex seals" though.

A rebuild kit with just all the seals and gaskets in it runs around $1,200 for everything. Plus you are almost certain to need 2 housings, ad $700 each. Lapping the irons at a minimum for another few hundred. If you are high mileage, the e-shaft bearings might be down to the copper, needing one of those. The rotor seal seats might be worn too deep.

Investigate thoroughly before you really commit to one path. Rebuilding this motor is usually more expensive than just buying a new reman ($3,300 6-port, $4,500 4-port) and turning this one in as a core on it.
