If you ever do replace them, go OEM only. As I understand it, the plug is actually part of a feed-back system for the ignition stuff. I am unsure if Mazda tweaked the plugs from what you can buy off the shelf generic, or not, but I don't want to play that game.
Great fitment, and quality, only let down is the plastic drain bung, make sure you get a replacement before installing it
OHLINS MAS-MI00S1 Road & Track Coilover Suspension for Mazda RX8 (Series 1 & 2, 2003-2012)
if you want it to handle the best possible on the street without it being harsh it's the way to go. It or Bilstein are the only thing I recommend for coil-overs other than pure race shocks. The B16/PSS9 is the only other one I'd recommend, but if you can afford it the nod goes to hlins.
HKS Hi-Power Cat-Back Exhaust with Titanium Tip for Mazda RX8 (Series 1 & 2, 2003-2012)
Same setup. Cold starts don't wake up the neighborhood, albeit you're by no means a Prius. But anything above 4.5k it definitely starts to scream. No drone. Windows up and music up, you won't even hear your own exhaust lol. By far my favorite sounding exhaust setup on these cars, loudness aside, the tone is just crisp, clear, and not muddy or raspy. Want to see what headers would do to this setup but I fear that it would get loud enough to get pulled over a lot :/

Yes, I believe that's revision C. Racing Beat is a good store for Mazda's, I'd trust them when they say it's the real OEM coilset.
The RX8’s proportions are already a strong foundation. A wide stance, a fastback roofline and those distinctive suicide doors give the car genuine visual presence. Choosing the right Mazda RX8 styling parts lets you work with that geometry rather than against it.
The right choices tighten up the details. As a result, the car gains a finish that feels deliberate from every angle. Whether you are correcting tired factory trim or steering toward something more individual, the right exterior choices make every other upgrade look better by association.
The most effective appearance upgrades read as part of a single vision. They respect the car’s existing lines, matching the colour direction and sitting in proportion with the build. For example, a well-chosen splitter, lip or trim piece does not demand attention. It simply makes the car look more resolved. That is the standard worth chasing.
Finding quality Mazda RX8 styling parts in Australia means being selective. The market for these cars has matured. Therefore, the parts that remain available are worth treating as a genuine investment in the car’s long-term presentation.
Before any exterior upgrade, ask whether a piece improves the car as a whole. Cohesion is the goal. Moreover, one well-chosen exterior update that ties existing elements together will always read better than several mismatched additions.
Before selecting any Mazda RX8 styling parts, consider the finish you are working toward. Also, think about how each addition will sit alongside what is already on the car. A consistent approach to colour, surface finish and visual weight produces builds that hold their appeal over time. The Mazda Australia design language rewards that considered approach. Because the RX8 responds well to refinement, it rewards cohesion over conflicting changes.
The range covers exterior appearance-focused components designed to refine the RX8's presentation and support a more cohesive overall look. Options suit everything from a subtle factory-inspired finish through to a more personalised build direction, with choices that complement different colour, trim and wheel combinations.
Fitment varies by part. Genuine OEM replacement styling components are designed to install without modification, while aftermarket appearance parts may require panel preparation or professional fitting depending on the specific item. Check the individual product listing for fitment notes before purchasing.
Appearance-focused parts such as exterior trim, badges and cosmetic panels are not structural components and do not affect the car's structural integrity when fitted correctly. Always confirm that any part is suited to your intended use, particularly if the car sees track days or spirited driving.
Start with a clear direction for colour, trim and overall balance before selecting individual parts. The most effective results come from changes that complement each other and the existing build, rather than adding multiple unrelated elements. Matching finish tones and keeping proportions consistent tends to produce the most cohesive outcome.
Series compatibility varies across the range. The RX8 received updates between Series 1 and Series 2 that affect exterior panel dimensions and trim details, so some parts suit both series while others are specific to one. Always check the fitment information on each individual product listing to confirm compatibility with your build year.
Yes. Many RX8 owners pursue both performance and appearance upgrades simultaneously, and the two are not mutually exclusive. Planning both directions together from the outset makes it easier to achieve a build that is visually cohesive as well as mechanically improved, particularly when wheel, brake and exterior choices are considered as a whole.
On a well-used RX8, refreshing faded, cracked or damaged exterior trim and styling components can significantly improve the car's overall presentation and help it feel more complete. Replacing worn details is often one of the more cost-effective ways to lift the visual standard of an older car without committing to a full respray.
