www.rockauto.com is about the best.
BUT...ALWAYS run the part number(s) through Amazon.com..........Amazon has killer prices on allot of parts sometimes. For example: AC Delco (Denso) 02 sensors you buy at the dealership....upwards of $180 each. Amazon.com and rockauto.com...about $37.00 each. Identical sensor.

It does....allot of places will offer that who don't offer free shipping, like Amazon and almost every auto-parts store in America for online orders. So allot of times them beating a price by just a TAD, really isn't cheaper. Its marketing.........
I'm ordering new calipers all around from Advance Auto (online to be shipped to my door), free shipping and a 25% off coupon. NO WAY can Summit beat that. I've tried every company out there.........Advance is the cheapest. But I'll have a look over at Summit real quick........see what happens.
But some places offer a flat rate on how much they will beat advertised prices, like say 10%....in that case its worth looking at to see if it will really be cheaper.
So yes....it does matter.

+1 for advance and the "magic coupon".
I've replaced so much **** on my car in the last few months.... TPS, IAC, rotors, pads, caliper bolts, upgraded to LT1 radiator and SAVED 200 bucks (compare the LS1 vs LT1 price), miscellaneous bulbs, belts, water pump, radiator hoses......
I've probably SAVED as much as I've spent, learned tricks and refined forgotten ones, and all with a lifetime warranty.
Who the hell can beat that?

There's a few items like Denso 02 sensors that are cheaper on Amazon and rockauto..............but Advance Auto is the best, especially with the coupons that are available all year long, every day.

How old are you ls1121? What has ls6427 done that warrants your bratty attitude. He asks a question and you go on the offensive. Now that sounds like something a nine year old would say.
Now on the the ops question. I almost exclusively use parts taxi. They have saved me a ton on gm parts. It's usually half of local dealers and sometimes close or less than a local parts store brand.
I have found one website that specialized in a/c parts beat their price on a compressor but it's the first and only time I've had that happened. I would be afraid to see what I've spent with parts taxi. I'm sure it's in the thousands.

I started a "cart" at Summit......I was able to choose FRONT calipers, but no matter what I do I cannot find REAR calipers. The only rear calipers that do show up say they fit FRONT/REAR Hummer. And when I added the FRONT calipers to the cart, then clicked "continue shopping" I had to add my year/make/model/engine info all over again. But still....the REAR calipers would not show up that I needed. When I clicked on the button that says "check compatibility" for my year car.....it only went back to like 2001 and didn;t even give me a Pontiac choice.
I tried a few times, started over a few times, couldn't get it to work. The prices were $10.00 per caliper "more" to start with and they did not offer a 25% OFF brake parts coupon like Advance Auto does, plus FREE shipping.
Plus if I ever have a problem with parts I buy from Advance Auto, its a LIFETIME warranty and they are 1.5 miles from my house. Summit....I have to ship parts back and wait, while my car sits in the driveway. Didn't notice if Summit offers LIFETIME warranty either, I doubt it, but I didn't check.
No way in hell will Summit BEAT Advance Auto prices, warranty "can only match that", convenience of returns or to get new parts when these wear out "FOR FREE" because of the Lifetime warranty. I will never pay for calipers again.
Thats all...........so I came to the conclusion that their WEBSITE BLOWS.....not Summit as a company....just their terrible website.
And I just turned 15 last week........

The codes change all the time.
BRKX...is 25% off brake parts....plus free shipping to your house.
P20.........thats the 20% off parts special. There's a banner for that offer right here on LS1tech.com at the top.....
Then there are other coupon codes for 15% off anything......I think its AG15.
Just go to their site. advanceauto.com They tell you the code to enter.
*****Best thing to do....google.com "advance auto parts coupons". You sometimes see 40% off coupon codes for online orders.
