    I got all mine from rockauto.com, there might be a better place but I thought they were decent.

    Definitely Napa Auto. I just bought a set from them and they were top notch quality, Made in Japan to boot.

    I'd at least go to your local Napa to see em' in person. Trust me, once you do, you'll snatch em' up.

    I just got all that stuff from Rockauto.. no excuse not to if you live down in the states.. shipping is a crapload cheaper than shipping it up here to Canada.. I had it.. one? two days after I ordered it all..

    Id suggest avoiding the "wholesale closeout" parts.. as Ive found them missing pieces like a couple nuts/bolts, castellated nuts or whatever. not the end of the world, just not as easy as the "as new" ones..

    I've always had good luck with rockauto.com, for the items they carry. I've always received items in a couple of days (shipped to So Cal)

    I happen to be looking for some things they don't.
