There are much cheaper/better ways to get OEM parts for your seven. In most cases there are aftermarket performance replacements cheaper than the dealer OE part.

Brake pads can be found in High performance compounds for $30 to $70. This is probaly close to what the dealer wants for stock replacement pads.

most dealer only parts can be found on the Net 50 to 75% cheaper than a local dealer.

Hope the info helps

We called a mazda dealer here to get parts for mine and the guy said he wished us luck on finding some... I'm just buying from people who are parting out their cars, but I'm not replacing brake pads or anything, just body parts.
