DO NOT BUT ANYMORE SURE CRAP... Check MazdaspeedForums for sure remarks. their stuff has failed a lot. Go 100% JBR. Anything but SURE. I know i have some parts from them. But their lack of courtesy to fellow 3ers when their parts failed and they wouldnt replace them means i wont do business with them again. multiple failed parts. multiple unhappy people. buy from edgeautsports.com
