What power are you planning to make?

Assuming it's a street car with less than 500 rwhp:

You don't need race bearings, stud kit, or 3mm seals.

Get all of your mazda oem parts from Ray Crowe at Malloy Mazda, you can email him at hmkparts@aol.com. He ships internationally and owns an FD, so is familiar with all the parts you'll need. Stock mazda oem parts are the best you can buy 99% of the time for a street car.

A complete rebuild kit, to include 2mm 2 piece seals and all bearings, will run you around $1100.

The poly motor mounts are a good idea, as is the oil pan reinforcement brace from gotham. One of the things you linked that might be a good pickup is the HD coolant seal kit from pineapple racing, I've installed those in many customer motors lately.

You are better off buying our Banzai Racing oil pan brace that comes with the stud kit and motor mount bolts, when you add it all up it is nearly half the price shipped to you.

It seems to be the popular opinion that factory seals are the way to go for stock twins.
