Nothing wrong with buying used but good condition components.

I bought the old version BHR kit on Ebay recently, I haven't installed it yet. Shall give you feedback once I do. Won't recommend something that I wouldn't do myself. And yes if you have the money, buy the new kit directly from BHR.

So I bought a whole N.G.K coil plug and wire set from ebay final cost was 298.00$ its raining today or I'd probably be on installing it but I'm gonna be lazy. It came with the laser iridium plugs wires and N.G.K brand coils all the parts look like a direct fit with all leading and trailing parts! I'm super excited to put this stuff on! All that's left now is a new catalytic converter and putting her on the road finally! Then to get a compression test! I'm not too worried about the test because the car purrs as is but it will be done soon! Thanks for the help guys I'll keep u all posted!

be careful with Ebay coils. They're known to be fake. Who is the seller? If you want a complete OEM kit, check out MazMart.

Non OEM coils should work just fine. The only issue is they wont work for very long. Mazda coils are always the best bet. Unless you are getting an engine code they are probably working.
