Question Where do you buy your parts at?
I am wondering where you buy cheap reliable parts. I know of Paragon Products which always has discount prices. What are the others?

If I'm building a complete motor EBS Racing. Last time I ordered parts to build two complete motors and they knocked off another 10% or so. Without a discount they were about 5% cheaper then paragon and just good people to deal with.

If I'm in a bind and need something quick Autohausaz is local and has good prices as well.

So true. Got a great price on an O2 sensor for my 951. I wish I had known sooner about this supplier!

Vertex Auto has pretty cheap prices if your just looking for replacement parts.

Performance Products is good and you get 15% off all the time if you are a PCA member.

I buy from whichever has the best price at the time from all those listed above, except for Performance Products. I find them way overpriced even after the discount.

+1 for Paragon

They used to be super cheap. Not anymore. Also beware of their service charge.
