Questions about Mazdaspeed goods

I've noticed that rotary drivers don't go nuts for Mazdaspeed stuff like Nissan and Toyota drivers do for NISMO and TRD stuff. Why is that? Is it just as good as other products and you're only buying the name? Or is it mainly because you need timeslips in order to buy the merchandise? I was looking at some of their products and was wondering if its actually worth the money.

Thanks!

Are you talking about Mazdaspeed as in the stuff made in Japan as upgrade items?
Or are you talking about Mazdaspeed, which used to be known as Mazda Competition?
Now, just to add to the confusion, Mazda Comp does sell Mazdaspeed items.

If we're talking about Mazdaspeed products that is upgrade from stock, they are overpriced for what the do.
They are barely upgrades from stock OEM, and there are other aftermarket products that offer better performance for the price.

i.e. - Mazdaspeed coilvers, stabilizer bars, LSD

Intead of Mazdaspeed we have Atkins Rotary, Corksport, Mazdatrix, Racing Beat, etc.. providing race & street tested affordable parts.

If Mazdaspeed actually opened a website up that sold their products and had good details & descriptions, & prices, I might actually be intersted in their stuff.
