I just emailed them and they replied in English. Yep, the B12 is just the kit with springs and dampers, exact same part numbers if you bought them all separately, but much cheaper :)

I got a Bilstein B12 kit (eibach springs + B8's) for just under $900 AUD shipped to my door from Germany. Company was called TVH Autoteile if you're interested, they do speak English too!
Instantly reminded me of this:

Haha but the mps is AWD so it could work :) Anyway I might end up having to leave my car on...
Hey guys,
I'm looking to get the wheels on my 6MPS repaired and resprayed black ASAP. I would need to borrow a set of wheels and tyres to drive on for 3-5 days while this gets done, so I was...
Just thought I'd report back on this issue. Late last week I had my timing chain, tensioner, actuator, guides, everything else etc replaced, and the noise is completely gone. The car is now also much...
Yeah I've barely noticed it lately with the cold weather, apart from when I shut the car down for a few seconds. Maybe switching to a thicker oil might help, but I'm already running a 10W-40 and I...
Yeah it seems like Mazda mechanics are absolutely useless. I will give S & J a call tomorrow to see if they'll do it.
So what do I need to get replaced to fix it? Just the timing chain? Or should...
That is quite worrying, I think they broke a nipple on my TIP a while ago, car dyno'd at 123kw before I got it fixed lol.
Anyway I just did the test where I let the engine run for about 20...
Update: Today I rang two mazda dealerships in my area. I spoke to the service manager of the first place, and he said that in his 8 years of working there he had NEVER seen anything to do with timing...
Thank you Axspeed, very helpful reply! I will call Mazda tomorrow morning and get them to take a look at it ASAP.
One more question, this noise has been happening since I bought the car just over...
I'll try and get an under bonnet video tomorrow. The problem is that outside the car I can't really hear anything abnormal above the sound of the injectors, I was hoping this was kind of a...
Hey guys,
Just wondering if anyone could spare 21 seconds and have a listen to this noise:

Hi turkminator. Thank you for the suggestion, I will definitely look into it! It's such a frustrating problem, I've already had a boost leak test done and installed new iridium plugs (due anyway) but...
Unfortunately I do not. I will be attending the dyno day in a weeks time, so hopefully I can figure something out then. :)
thanks for the reply. i know what it sounds like, i was just wondering whether the bunged VVT actuator could cause a lack of power, with no other apparent symptoms. I have already had a boost leak...
i would say don't worry too much unless you have the problem, mazda wouldn't spend hours fixing it if it ain't broke!
Would anyone happen to know if the VVT issue could cause a bit of power loss?...
Yeah i know, but GT5 is poo :P I guess I just prefer the overall driving experience in Forza. And then there's the fact that I don't have a PS3, and the only reason I would buy one is for GT5 lol....
Gamertag is Danger629, add me unless I add you first!
Anyone got the November speed pack yet? I'll probably get the Season Pass just in case they release a 6MPS in one of the next 5 packs! :p...
Hey Andrew,
Just to give you an idea of pricing I picked up a 6 MPS on Tuesday with 57k, in very good condition, for $23k. As a (very) rough guide I would suggest:
<$22k = usually higher...
Hey everyone, I finally picked up a pearl white 6MPS on Tuesday after months of waiting for the right one. For the first time in my life I actually look forward to driving to work! :cheesy:
Anyway...
Hey Mark, thanks for the welcome!
I am from the Northern suburbs, which sucks because if I want to go for a drive in the hills I have to first drive for half an hour to get there! Could be worse...
Thanks rogwick, I'm already thinking of appearance mods for whatever colour I end up getting! Your car looks great btw, I do have a thing for white cars on black wheels, so if I get one in pearl...
