Thanks in advance.

I recently ordered from Utah. Very good service. They do not sell the 8mm Magnecor wires anymore. But I will be getting my STIs in the mail today.
Atlantic is also good never had a probolem with them. Sent some items back anf they took it back with no questions.
Rover parts is great for expensive used parts. Ive only ordered from the once and didnt have to talk to them but they were quick and the part was good to go.

Curious as to what brake pads you will be using, there are better pads then what Justin offers, if you want better stopping, no brake dust, no squeaks and last longer.
As for the other parts, not know ing what you are needing makes it hard to tell you where to buy from. Yes British Parts of Utah is a good place to shop and usually cheaper the A.B.

e-bay and local salvage yards for my used parts.

Default Have purchased from all of the above

Ive bought various items from all the vendors listed, and haven't had a bad experience yet. Shop around a bit, as some carry particular items cheaper, and/or run specials that can save you a buck or two...

Shipping cost usually does not allow to get differnet items from different vendors, if the order is for small parts.
