Rebuild kit reviews?

Hi all,

Are there any reviews around the web of the various rebuild kits that are available for the FD?

I know rotaryaviation do one, obviously there's Mazda OEM stuff but what others are available and how good are they?

Any advice appreciated as I'm looking to do this around October/November.

Cheers!

here is your review:

#1) OEM
#2) Atkins
#3) Rotary Aviation

#10) hurley

personally though there is no best "kit"

i prefer a mix of the following, Atkins seals are softer so if they tend to detonate on they likely will not scar the rotor housings(observed this in my own engine), OEM seals are the best for overall engine longevity/life, Rotary Aviation coolant seals are the best for reusability for racing engines that are torn down often the seals can be reused, Rotary Aviation apex seals are the most detonation resistant.

now if you have big bucks we can start discussing ceramic seals...
