Default Where do you guys buy your mods?

Ebay? Car performance websites? From a local shop?

Basically, I'm looking for parts dealers that are reliable, have parts in stock and can ship quickly, and of course have good prices. I just ordered some springs from rsxmotorsports.com and they say they'll be here in 3-7 business days. Their price for the eibach pro-kit springs was $238 shipped, which was about the cheapest I found on line. Should I be looking elsewhere for future purchases?

edit: for those of you saying "the internet" could you be a little more specific about which online places you use?

Thanks.

What kind of car do you have? I basically buy my parts from friends or new. Some ebay stuff if it's reputable.

yes, yes, and yes.

ebay should be a last resort thing, since nowadays it's really sketchy unless buying from a known good seller.

i think ebay has pretty good parts but you have to buy from one of the distributors. most shops around here are fuckin nuts on their pricing

Yeah, I flat out don't trust ebay. I won't buy anything used either, unless I know the previous owner. What websites do you (and the rest of you) use?

it depends on your car, really.

online, there are plenty of websites that cater to specific makes or models of cars.

looking at your profile, you have a car that has excellent aftermarket support, so what would be best, is to look on car forums specific to your car and see what other owners have to say.

word of mouth is usually a good way of finding somewhere to buy parts.

Find the part you want.
Find a distributor.
Buy it.

There's no "one place" that you're going to find everything you're looking for..
