problem is most of the best deals are on used parts on forums, otherwise id just check out the sponsors on this site for goodies. SLPonline.com has a lot of real nice stuff too.

I do a lot of shopping around. Best prices with a lot of choices are "MarylandSpeed" and the "WS6store". Can't go wrong with either. Remember not to buy just based on their price for the item though. One store had an item about $10 cheaper than the other, but I found out they also had $20 more expensive shipping. Always check out shipping costs! As in regards to SLP, they have some good products, but stores like Maryland and WS6 store sell the exact same SLP parts for less and usually have cheaper shipping. I was gonna get long tubes from SLPonline.com but Marylandspeed had the same product and for much cheaper.

WS6store is the ****. I usually will go there first, for anything OEM either them or SDPC, can't go wrong.

I always like Speed Inc. a lot. Free shipping on orders of $100 and they'll price match other places as well. Hard to beat.

If you need factory parts then rockauto is the place. Buy far the best prices and good shipping prices. Unlike gmpartsdirect. Which there shipping costs more than the part.
