Front lower ball joints
My '87 is in need of new ball joints. I found several ebay sellers offering a pair of OEM replacements under $80 including shipping to the Netherlands.
Most well known rx-7 parts stores (mazdatrix, atkins) though, sell them for $65 for 1 and that doesn't include shipping. Are these better quality (seen some offering Moog etc.), or just the same ones in brand packaging?
I don't mind paying more for best quality, but don't want to pay 3,4 times as much for exactly the same thing...

Fark that..MOOG is ok..
Mazda is gonna Charge you 80-100 per joint.I learned the hard way.
The mazda joints are Sealed and are supposedly not serviceable.If you find a joint with a Grease nipple on it,Grab it.
