Reliable online parts suppliers that ship to oz
hi I'm hoping someone can help by recommending a Mazda parts supplier that is legit and happy to ship to australia (without ridiculously high shipping costs) I'm just trying to find c series coils ,leads and plugs at the right price and be sure that they are the real oem part and not a counterfeit ,the more I searched the worse it gets with crazy prices for just one coil to other ads that try and decieve by showing 4 but when read carefully it's only 1coil , it would be great to get a good trustworthy online store to deal with as I have a rebuild on the horizon and will need alot more parts yet , ..any suggestions appreciated..

I suggest you get the new BHR coils direct from Charles himself. Brilliant to deal with and they are honestly better than C edition coils.
I got a set of 4 landed in Melb for $725 AUS.
I also posted a pic here somewhere of a cheap perfect looking OEM knockoff. It melted and cracked open within 500km. They are crap. I also got replacements as well as a full refund. Dont bother with any of these.
Where are you in AUS?

You cant go wrong with the C type OEM coils as long as they are genuine. After going over all the conversion costs just like you I went with the BHR knowing they will last at least as long as 2 sets of C coils. There is no cheap options in AUS. The easy option is stay with OEM. Cheers.

The Company I work for is working on moving business to Australia from another region. We're having a really hard time getting custom (chemical) raw materials into Australia with Covid-19 and shipping resources that are available. Best of luck.

I replaced my coils with bosch ones and microtech ignitor box and have lasted 62K so far with no issues. Cost $595 including loom and adapter plate then DIY. They are still being sold. Recently bought set of spark plugs from spark plugs direct for $132 delivered in 3 days. i also keep my eye out for specials like supercheap has for members this weekend at 30% off. Items may not be in stock but they can get them.
One of the best thing I ever did was visit Rick Shaw's place in Sydney about 5 years ago as he actually track races RX8s. What I learnt:
- coils and radiator are weakest points and worth spending money on when they fail.
- intake and exhaust mods provide little benefit apart from looking good and changing the sound.
- suspension upgrades can be worth if it you are you want to improve club times but for most just make sure all components are in good nick and buy better tyres.
- don't waste money on engine upgrades, spend your money on loosing the weight (including driver) and driver training.
Must be still going as he was an entry in recent Bathurst 6hr.

I have heard good things about MCA coilovers in QLD. They are currently updateing their branding/tiers/ pricing. So currently waiting to hear back as i know my OEM rears are shot.
If way too exxy then Im likely to lean towards BC BR or Blitz ZZR and no affiliations with any of above.
