I'm trying to pickup a MazdaSpeed Urethane kit off ebay, however, there are so many companies that are offering them.

"Juiceper"

You need to pickup at a local GreyHound location..awkward

"JF Racing Inc."

"RaceonUSA"

Now I don't understand why the 3rd one is $999 while the others are around $750-$800. I want one that has good quality and I was just wondering if anyone has purchased their kit from them.

Also, if you have purchased your urethane kit, let me know where you picked it up from and the price, thanks!

 

Good idea, don't be the idiot thatt buys the fiberglass kit. Cuz I might know one of those guys.<<<<<<<<

 

also, I have heard good things about raceonusa, never heard of the others. But please don;t let mine be the only feedback you get before your purchase.

 

i bought one from juiceper. had it put on my car. the kit does require work like pinholes and stuff in the urethane. I learned my lesson and should of went for the real thing, painting and preping cost me more than i thought. try someone else because kit from him wasnt the best. good luck

 

From what I have heard you might as well get the real thing after all the body work and painting.

 

Certainly not in my case - and recently, after crashing my 8 (off roading doesn't work), the same shop that installed my urethane kit, sold me a replacement front bumper at a very reasonable price, including paint and fit, about $500. Quality is very good - IMO. Same kit as Mike B. I think the "real" M-S front is over $2K - so you are saving serious money to get the same look.

Maybe you could buy a quality Urethane Kit from them - they are in California - Call Auto Werks Paint and Body - (626) 442-6558. ONLY talk with Peter Hong - he is the son of the owner. If you get Mom or Dad on the phone (sound older, and have heavy Asian accents) be sure to just ask when Peter will be there, and call back. He's the one to deal with - very RX community friendly.

 

What are they located? Do they have the urethane MS kit?

 

urethane's no good, it sags. Go for the real thing, save you some time and money (maybe).

 

Just make sure you've got a fair idea on a price quote for painting it before you order.

The real MazdaSpeed kit is about $2700. But comes painted and mounts up easier. You could do it yourself if you wanted.

The Knockoff kits are about $1000 and it's not hard to spend $1000-1500 on painting and mounting the full kit.

The MazdaSpeed will end up more expensive 95% of the time, but not as much as it seems at first glance. An extra $500 or so for an actual real OEM kit, made of better material and that's not a total gamble on what you're gonna get might be worth it.
