Well, untill we know for certain which engine you have, there isn't much more we can do for you. Get us the engine type and we can get you squared away with places to look for most anything you could want to do to the car, but without that detail, I really don't know were to direct you. Sorry.

well you have been more helpful then the other guy that was trying to help. it seemed like he didnt like the idea of me not knowing my car.

what kind of suspension would you go for in the 6?

Well that really depends on what you want, and the engine in ur car. due to the difference in weight between the V6 and the 4cyl, they have different suspension options. But for a basic upgrade in handling and a more agressive stance, I'd recommend a set of mazdaspeed6 or bilstien shocks, and a set of linear springs. I'd also recommend a set of upgraded swaybars. Be advised though, that tuning is a system of compromises, increasing performance usually decreases comfort to some degree. How much you are willing to live with is up to you. I personally, like the stiffer ride, so it really doesn't bother me, but some might not feel the same way.

If infact you do have the 4cyl, then the intake you buy really won't matter, as they all add about the same amount of power. That said, I am a big fan of AEM's dry flow filters. No oil on the filter that could possibly foul up the MAF is a very good thing in my book.
