Hey.
Looking to get rotors and pads from ebay as they seem really cheap on there. any experiences??

also since i am shopping i see there is a difference in standard and sport suspension. i have no clue what i have in my car. so how do i figure out what i have??

 

What year and version is your 8?

 

2008 gt

i called mazda and gave VIN and they said its standard sus.

i called canadian tire and got a quote

rear rotors 58.35
front rotors 66.33

pads
rear 47.58
front 53.19

 

Are you in Canada or US?

 

Keep in mind "standard" is non-sport usually.

If you have a base model, automatic, then you might have "standard".

If it is a Manual Transmission, or is a Touring or Grand Touring, or is a base automatic with the Sport package added, then you have the "Sport" suspension, which is considered "normal" as it is ~95% or so of all RX-8s out there, and might be referred to as 'standard'.

 

Nothing wrong buying on ebay. Just make sure your buying from a reputable seller. Sport suspension usually has a stiffer ride than a regular standard suspension.

Ive never had a problem, be sure to read all the fine print make sure its specific for the RX8 cause some stuff on there is so "universal" it never fits right.

 

You go to a sharp turn and take it at 7.5K. If you live you have the sport version.

 

Canada.
i have automatic trans

 

i'm afraid the only real way to find out is to do what 8upbad said. but hey, i survived, and now i know what trim level i have. hah. I am not positive, but i would hesitate a guess that you have the sport suspension.
