Yeah I'm not totally surprised by this. But I'm assuming they are keeping early proteges? I mean we aren't totally out of luck.. at least for us BP guys we still have all the protege stuff

This really hits my heart actually, Corksport was a core components to the Mx-3's popularity, they even had their own project Mx-3. I've ordered many things from them over the years. To me, this is a major blow to the longevity of the Mx-3. They helped make the Mx-3 was it was capable of being.

Get yours parts from whem as soon as you can, especially the MazdaSpeed stuff, stainless lines, strut bars and the such. I loved their strut bars and highly recommend them over the eBay thin bars.

It's sad to see, and will be a sad day to have the Mx3 gone from the list on the CorkSport website, and I'll still be visiting that site.

just placed an order for 2 strut bar sets. I've always wanted to upgrade and there is no point waiting any longer.

I do feel that CS has priced themselves a little high for what mx owners want to pay for some items.

It's not CS's prices that are the problems.

Ah I was wondering when this was going to happen, they lasted longer than I expected. Luckily performance wise they don't really carry all that much that will be missed... Wonder if they'll still do the custom order for parts...

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
