Default NYC brake parts supplier?

Can anyone in the NYC area suggest a place for me to pick up some new Zimmerman rotors for my car? I'm after the cross-drilled ones for an '88 951 (non-M030). I'll be driving down in May from Canada, so this is a good opportunity for me to stock up on heavy stuff I wouldn't want to ship.

What has your experience been in the NYC area? Also, how about a good supplier of used parts?

Thanks,

Charlie.

I live in NYC and have never bought anything for the car locally. You can always order stuff from the usual dealers and have it sent to your hotel. I send stuff to my hotel all the time when I travel for work.

I got my front zimmermans from a lister (NIB) and the rears my mechanic ordered...I think from Paragon.

No one local is going to stock parts like that. You could order then through a dealer and have them hold the parts for you.

For used, check out 944 Ecology in Kingston, NY.

While George rarely has the best prices, he's very nice and has got a tremendous knowledge of our cars...I've spoken to him once or twice and read a bunch of his stuff on pelcan and in Panorama.
