I was just browsing mazdatrix site and noticed that rx8 corner seal springs are $1.59 http://mazdatrix.com/getprice.asp?partnum=11-C24B-N3H1 compared to the 3rd gen corner seal springs which are $2.39 http://mazdatrix.com/getprice.asp?partnum=11-C240-NF01



will the rx8 corner seal springs work with s5 rotors? Are they as good or better than the FD springs

I think the FD seals and springs will be better since they are made for boosted applications and the rx-8 is a N/A engine and not turbo, I would use the FD parts.
