    I've been looking at parts on the internet for a while now but im not sure who to buy from. I was thinking rally sport direct because there based in Salt Lake kind of by where i live but im not entirly sure yet. Basicly where do you usually buy your parts from?

    Gruppe-S has good prices
    eBay if you know how not to get scammed (it is an art, and I can teach you.)

    It depends on what kind of parts you are looking for but the vendors that I have had excellent customer service and extremely fast delivery from are:

    www.daddysscp.com
    www.kartboy.com
    www.gruppe-s.com
    www.modacar.com
    www.summitracing.com

    From my personal experience Rich at daddysscp.com and Tom at Kartboy.com go way way way above and beyond what most vendors do, reply to emails very quickly, and keep you updated.

    Also, Sogonerg on this forum can get you some aftermarket parts for a very reasonable price. I dont know if he'd ship tho...

    The only online vendor I've had problems with to date is:
    www.mauromotorsports.com
    They charged me almost $400 almost 2 weeks ago and no product or tracking number even! They dont reply to emails either.

    (we need a reviews sub-forum here :) )

    This is the place I always check first. They usually have the lowest prices and will typically have free (and fast) shipping.

    Just wanted to say I bought a Helix downpipe from www.evasivemotorsports.com on 3-9-06 and have not received any word on if it is shipped. They did reply once, a week after I bought it, saying they would ship in a week or so... No reply to any of my 5 emails since then. Got me thinking that their name has more meaning then one would think.

    i ordered my helix DP from gruppe-s. good stuff it came pretty fast
    (beign it was back ordered).

    i have heard great stuff about kartboy.

    there is jdmpartstx.com they have decent prices on very hard to get parts.

    gr8wheels.com has very slow service. in my experience

    daddysscp.com has good customer service i got anegt gauge from and they had fast shipping and

    check out private and vendor sales on i-club.com i have gotten good stuff fromt there.

    also garagetuning.com can get some good parts too. from what i saw they had the lowest price on megan coilovers. i am not sure bout there other stuff, but good customer service.

    gruppe-s stuck a freind of mine for $1,200 on a set of Defi gauges.

    2 years later, no refund. no gauges.

    I don't do business with them anymore.

    +1 for import image. I had all my parts within a week and a half of ordering. You can hit them up on aol and they have awesome prices.

    I also have ordered from istoreparts.com. They also have good prices and get stuff out quick.

    I've gone through Rallysport a couple of times and have nothing negative to say about them. Fast(usaully free) shipping, and they e-mail ya back if you have questions on your order.
