More bad news for us... At least it's not unexpected. Most of our parts are our own creations anyways.

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.

Well, their shipping $ sure as hell sux. At least out here it does.
I still think their headers are over priced too.

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...
