Depends on what you need. I bought most of my OEM miscellaneous stuff from JNZ Tuning (nuts, bolts, gaskets, seals).

I bought some of the larger pieces from the forum. SFL had several things I needed.

Bad quality stuff man. I wouldn't do it unless u plan on selling the car or something, but then it becomes someone elses problem which also isn't cool I guess.

Please get OEM on those parts. I'd get the brake booster used, but rest new.

I did buy my E85 gas cap from RockAuto.com

Rock auto has perfectly fine parts, just don't pick the cheapest, no name parts. I purchased a wheel bearing by timken, which is an OE level bearing.

I used them for all my timing components. No complaints here and half the price of the other kits if you piece it out.

That being said, I wouldn't order the no name stuff.

Get with some of the vendors on here, we have several that sell the parts you're looking for that are OEM or the equivalent.

if you own a car you need to debate buying less than OEM quality parts, you bought the wrong car. just my 2 cents.

I order from Rock Auto and Parts Geek all the time.

Not for EVO parts but cars in general

Don't buy the bottom of the barrel and most everything meets or exceeds OEM part quality

FWIW, I bought a timken wheel hub from a local parts store, and it had "made in Japan" stamped on it. But yah, I agree, use some common sense and do some research first, as long as the price is good and the part is right, you can get some good deals on Rockauto.
