im looking to replace my ignition coils on my 2004 rx8 and was just wondering how much does a set of four cost and where i could buy them from?

 

$57.09/each from Rosenthal Mazda. I get all my parts from them:

Now that the coils are "mainstream" (or whatever you call "available to the general public vendors") the prices dropped significantly.

$29.59 each, BEFORE the current deal of 15% off discount.

A couple months ago they had 15% off and free shipping over $100, and the entire set of coils, plugs, and wires was $182 shipped.

 

Save yourself time and money (in the long run) and go BHR...If you aren't wanting to spend that much, or can't afford it just yet, then check rockauto.com...Pretty cheap there.

 

I say go with bhr if you plan on keeping the car for awhile. It's worth the extra money.

 

+1.

 

Here's one from eBay...$117 for all 4 coils plus free shipping ...if your in a tight budget like me, lol

Only issue I have about buying OEM style Coils from eBay is are they the later iteration (modified) coils that Mazda used from MY2008 Series 1's and all Series 2's.

Coils from a Mazda Dealer who advertises on this site sells them for $54.96 each.

I am a great believer in supporting those here who support our club Website, without them we as a club could not survive, being in Australia I can not use the Mazda Motorsports special site for 'Mazda racers' at even better than Dealer Parts prices, so I get all my OEM Mazda Parts that can be used for Aussie Spec RHD Mazda's from Jason at Montgomery's.

Having said that we should also support RX-8 club vendors, they pay the RX-8 Forum bills too, like Paul at Mazmart or Charles (Ray) from BHR also fantastic Service (Ray he does know what a Customer IS about).

So yeah, you may pay a little more (not always) than eBay or other suppliers, but PLEASE support RX-8 club Vendors and RX-8 Club Advertisers.

 

Concur, Tommy the parts manager at Rosenthal will take good care of you.

'course if you really want to be care-free pretty much for the life of the car, go with the BHR system.

Either way you support site sponsors, at a fair price, and not some eBay knockoff.

 

That's about the same price as Advance Auto, and they have a lifetime warranty.

 

I 100% agree with this. When I needed spark plugs I bought from Mazmart, now I need coils and again I bought them from Mazmart. I am sure he gets enough orders there to keep the place alive but I appreciate his prices on OEM stuff($195 for coils, $208 shipped to me) and would like the company not to go anywhere.


I plan on just sticking to OEM coils unless I go with the bhr kit. I am sure the random brands of coils probably work fine but at least I know the OEM ones will last ~35k.
