I had one ordered with an August build date and it had only the speed delimiter and ls diff. I told the dealer I wanted the full package so they ordered a different one with a September build date and the full performance package. These are both for US delivery.

Now for the punchline, I get 'em with one cycle down for $200/copy. At that point they're almost like postage stamps!

The only problem with used tires is you can wind up chasing your tail on your set up. If you happen to get a 1 cycle left front, a 5 cycle right front, a 2 cycle left rear, and a 7 cycle right rear; handling may be a bit unpredictable. It is a great way to save some money as you work your way up to the limit of the car, but once you get to the limit used tires can be a problem. I don't know how sensitive the cup is to tires, it may work great for you. In the pro mazda, if a mouse farts in Cambodia, it throws off the set up.

Point well taken!

I know the source. They have Michelin as a sponsor. Can't get much cleaner...

I hate those f-ing Cambodian mice!

I'm glad I bought one with 1,500 miles. It saved me the guilt of not breaking it in properly.
