Hmm. Autozone.com for 60 bucks each, Beck Arnley. I have always had good luck. There's a place in northern CA called Mazda Dismantling, don't have number but they are real cheap. Got a complete ps rack and pinion for my 1992 MX-6 for 50 bucks w/6 mo warranty.

i forget the name of the place... its somewhere near Harrisburg, called like M&M Imports or something. but i dont know if he would give everybody deals like that... it was a racer thing. but hey, who knows, maybe he would. even if he wouldnt sell them to everyone for 45, im sure it wouldnt be much more. ill try to find the name of the place for you guys.

$59, for the 12a. They don't offer them for the 13b, unfortunately.

For that matter, they offer them for the four other cars I own, but not the car I would actually want to put them on!

for street use anything should work quality wise. but when racing (full throttle straight to hard braking), nothing holds up like the brembos. all the generic ***** crack if not extensively cooled down slowly. youll be sitting next to the car after a session and hear 'dink'.. and you just think "god dammit" cuz you know youll have to get greasy changin rotors and packing bearings again lol.
