ceramic seals have been a prooven hp gainer, but they are pricy. i would go with ra seals then there around 200 for a full set with springs.

I would recommend the stock factory OEM 2 pcs. apex seals. They far more superior than the RA seals. Just think of it Mazda has spent millions on R&D to perfect or close to perfect their seals. Other companies??? Not to say bad things about the other seals...I am sure they are fine as well. They run around $300.00 for the set. If you need a set let me know. I have a few sets.
