    Go with Mazda OEM, they are a little more money then aftermarket replacements but worth it. Trust me I've been through this ordeal.

    Toronto Mazda quoted me at $218 a piece. Definitely more than the options I see on RockAuto

    Tell them your a TM3 member and knock off 15%, plus you'll pay double that if you go with aftermarket, when they FU within a year.
