These guys: http://www.mazdaparts.org/mamifrmudgup.html

i think IIRC they don't ship international, so you need a freight forwarding service like nz post's youshop or shipito or get them sent as part of a container that one of the nz parts places offer (prob cheaper, but slower).

Canterbury Mazda also said they could get them for ~$165 when I gave them a call. Getting them from the US was a fair bit cheaper though.

Edit: that's for an NB, no idea where to get NA one's sorry!

Yeah it's for the bike. Need to swap the tyres over from the original ones along with a stack of other things. Finished with the car so onto the bike now. I think the goal is to always have incomplete vehicles lying around ;-)

Yep it's carbon fiber

Cheers the main idea for now is to just lower it and get rid of the monster truck look as it will be getting coils with the turbo before i track it but they should be about 30-35% stiffer than OEMS. Unfortunately i can't upload any pics as of them as the forum says its an empty file!!!
