Best price for genuine Porsche parts and great customer service.

For Bosh parts such as starters, alternators, O2 sensors, coolant fans, and MAF, etc. get the Bosch parts from Amazon.

Rock Auto is a good place to order parts from, but beware buying the cheaper brands like Uro Parts.

I ordered a full bushing set to fix my dad's V70 T5's front suspension, and all the bushings needed to be replaced again a year later.

Pelican is usually my go-to, even with the slight price premium and somewhat high shipping charges, since I'm located in Chicago, the parts quality and service is top notch.

Best prices I've seen so far. I also have the added benefit of living in the Phoenix area and I can order from them online and do the "will call" pick up and not pay any shipping.

Nice. +1 on not using Uro parts. Utter junk. I have mixed feelings about Meyle too - any one else have experience with them? For my Benz, it's Lemfoerder or bust, as long as it's available of course.

On BMW, Meyle control arms have mostly positive reviews. They replace the whole control arms on some cars becuase you can't replace the bushing. Lemfoerder is better but for some BMW part's it's not much cheaper, like $10 savings on a $300 part.

That's good to know. I replaced a fuel pump on my old C43 with a Meyle piece, but it began acting up just about a week later. Went with a Pierburg OE unit and it was fine after that - the incident led to my hesitance with Meyle. I have seen some more positive comments on Meyle suspension components, so I thought I'd better ask.

sonnen porsche also offers good prices on oe parts like sunset.

I use rm euro, ecs tuning, new-part.com, amazon, azautohaus, and autopartswarehouse for oem parts made by bosch and the like.

I used rock auto once for hard to find spark plugs. had an issue with two plugs, and they shipped me new ones, no questions asked. They don't carry much for my cars though, so they are not a go to for me.

Suncoast pricing can be great, or very high depending on the item. Pelican is overpriced like crazy, they are a last resort.

I've been ordering a lot from Amazon lately.

The free two day shipping clinches a lot of orders for me. They're building an auto parts warehouse in Wisconsin, towards the border with Illinois, so I hear.

Hopefully that means I can get parts in less than two days then ... Or will call pickup if I'm really desperate ...

I've used Rock Auto several times, most of them long before the annoying commercials. For Porsches in particular, check them out when you're buying brake pads- they've got a way better selection of pads and rotors than Pelican and the dealers. Usually pretty good prices, too. Just do your research- quality is quality no matter where it's sold, but crap is crap, too.

Do your homework and research and you will see that Rock Auto's prices for the same oem part can not be beat. I have no affiliation, I just like saving money.
