i agree, if it involves anything more than just changing parts on a R.0 they are pretty much useless

Revv, for your information, yes I DID order the parts for about $1350, and yes they are factory parts as requested. After everyone helping me on the forum, I did a little research and found them alot cheaper, so get off my back. I don't know what your problem is, but you are the one who is being "rudely". Everyone else has been very helpful, and I appreciate all the advice.

sounds like you have some information to share then. Do tell where you got that list of parts for under 50% of this dealer's quotes from?

It was actually Mazda-Parts.com, which i believe is run by Walker Mazda out of Vermont. Onlinemazdaparts.com was a little more expensive but has free shipping, so either one would be a good deal. Both sell discounted oem parts. Neither of them sell sparkplugs, so I ordered them through sparkplugs.com. I hope this helps anyone who is in the same situation as me. And I too got my packet in the mail today.

So are these mostly 04's that are going up or can we expect the same with any model year RX8?

+1, look around you should be able to find one. I sold mine a long time ago for $50
