where do you buy your performance parts?

[hooyeahsti]

hey. im just wondering. where every one gets their parts? cuz im looking to build my car up for handling . so i want to do all the cheep **** first. so any one got some ideas on what i can do?

[2mprzya]

i have bought almost all my stuff off of nasioc to be honest. i have really got some of the sickest deals.

for actual vendors, i've used
gruppe-s (amazing)
world one performance (also amazing) and even some stuff of ebay.

world one is def my favorite to deal with! super quick and awesome service. drop them a link and ask for jonathan, tell them dan (2mprzya) sent you their way.

~ebay
~manufactorer retail store
~yoparts
~private sale

i either buy it on ebay, or i make it myself.

[hooyeahsti]

whats some stuff i can do . to make my car handle really nice?so far im getting sway bars installed and soon strut bars. but what els?

[Robk0000]

i always thought strut bars are useless, but then again i have them...coilovers, or just get springs and struts, beyond that im sure your going overkill

[hooyeahsti]

ya i was thinking about getting coil overs at the end of winter. after tax's and my profit shareing i should have around 2-3k. so. i just dont no what brands are good and. the best to get for handleing.that and im also going to buy good brakes to.

[2mprzya]

front strut bars are useless on imprezas because they sit almost flush to the firewall, the rear ones aren't to bad of an idea. sways and endlinks with spring/struts or coilovers will make a BIG difference!

All my aftermarket ****e is whatever was on sale at Kartboy, or OEM castoffs from LordBass and Unsakred.:)

[LordBass]

Cheap/used is king:

Homemade CAI: free
Amsoil filter: used on NASIOC
Front & rear Whiteline endlinks: used on NASIOC
16" MY00 RS rims: used on NASIOC
20mm rear sway: new from subaruparts.com [way back when]
..and various other smallish bushings and mounts new, mostly from NASIOC vendors.

The only major part I paid full price for was the Brullen cat-back. Big bucks but haven't had to touch it in nearly 6 years & 75k miles.

A good set of springs will do wonders for how you car handles. Biggest improvement will be from alignment and tires...

[doylfish]

i used to buy a lot of my stuff on nasioc, but worldone, imageimportracing are the other places

[morbidgorilla]

so rob how is yo parts?

[jmb1983]

Any updates?

[boxer3maine]

I found some odd places for sube stuff.
summit racing, jegs...

old subes have alot more to relate to old stuff, but I know summit has sways, billet filters, and anything that is simply generalized for newer.

Not bad for under $1000.00 in mods :lol:

[AExiOn]

I've been recently buying my stuff from subimods

but for all of the suspention based mods on my car, I got from turninconcepts.com

[Fc]

I got my stage TBE from Subimods who was very inexperienced at sending stuff to an overseas APO/AE address costing me almost 400$ and a 7 hour trip to pick my stuff up. I wont use them again until im back in the states.

got my TMIC from fredbeansparts.com who charged me NO shipping overseas apo/ae and got it here in less than a week, i will buy from them exclusively while overseas and be my first choice when im stateside.

and i picked up my STP cold air intake at a dealership with an STP store attached to it in CO.

[WeldingHank]

My car is like the car that EBAY built...
