Talking New 323 GTX owner! (and a few questions)

Howdy!

New owner of a one-owner '88 323 GTX. 90K miles. I work for a Mazda dealership in Nashville, Tennessee. I also currently have two Miatae.

First order of business is replacement of those pesky wheel bearings. While I have it all apart, thought I might take the opportunity to do brakes and shocks as well.

Any recommendations from current owners regarding brake pads and shocks? Does Mazda Competition (now Mazdaspeed Motorsports) offer any shock/ brake packages
like they do on the Miata?

The 323 GTX will be a secondary daily driver that will also see light auto-x duty on the weekends.

Thanks in advance for the help!

X Wing, post some photos of Italia Miata. I remember that kit from a while back. That thing was sweet.
