^^^ Cool - will try it next time I buy oil filters.

Automotive Supplies are on Charles Street. It's the street behind Sterling Motors (Mercedes Benz building) on Sackville Street, just off Wrightson Road.

Hawk and EBC is around $75 online. Gavin's said he usually stocks Raybestos. Didn't get on to Minicity to check what they have.

I know bout the Silver. Used them on the old 323 and it used to make noise like an ole cortina in traffic from POS. Strangely enuf, my pops uses this on the B15 and he has no issues...yet.

Used the Bosch and was not impressed at all. Cant remember exactly... but there was lotsa brake fade.
Used GIC and was very happy with those.
Used Daishin after that. Sold the car shortly after, so cant say how well those were.

And doh forget.. K&N Oil filters for $85 if all yuh want.

Thinking Mintex. Saw good things bout them on a mazda forum and is the only thing goodish i can find locally apart from the raybestos.
Will price at T'dad Brake and Clutch.

Fellas i havin some issues.

Got springs from TSC. No issues with those.
Front gives a great drop but the back remains up in the air.
The forkin SDM 323 so dam high inna the bak that with the drop, it still 2" higher than the front.

Can anyone tell me if the shock longer than the JDM version or is the spring perch higher or some other nonesense?

I have seen these springs on JDM and seen pics of USDM BJs and its fine.

saw it. Thats where mine (the back) end up with the Megan springs Neutral

My front is where it should be with lowering springs.
Any ideas on the back shocks?

On another note...that engine.... Twisted Evil
