Pricing on OEM brakes, shocks and springs

[Brainless]

I'm gonna have to change these soon and I don't know if it's worth it to go for aftermarket parts or OEM. Anyone knows the approximate princing on OEM front disks and all four shocks and springs?

For the springs, i think you can only get them from the factory and they are $168 a piece, for the front. you are better off getting lowering springs, especially if you are gonna replace the struts anyways

aren't lowering spring around 200$ for all 4?

just about yeah

Actually i got my lowering springs for 158 + shipping. Yea you are better off that way, it is crazy what they want for one spring.

Mazda parts are often more expensive than aftermarket parts.

get the ZX2 struts everyone is always talkin about...they are like 160 for all 4 I believe, and they drop the car an extra half inch all the way around. Plus they are better than stock (stiffer).
