lol... I don't think rxtuner.com sells bushings.. but the others are good.

And if you can't find something at the first three, you're not looking hard enough.

I replaced my entire front steering/bushings from the victoriabritish catalogue. It's free to order the catalogue, and they've got pretty much everything.

Your local part store should be able to come up with many of the bushings you need. I'd suggest going to all the local part stores first, and whatever is left, getting it from victoriabritish, mazdatrix or your local mazda dealership.

No, 2nd gen stuff will not work on the first gen. Don't even try it.

Its bumpy, but handles awesome. I did it at the same time as my Tociko Blues and energy suspension springs.
