Cheapest place to buy quality spare parts
I've posted this on other forums aswell, but I'm interested in getting as many as possible answers on this subject.
I'm currently completely overhauling my MR2 Turbo.
The easiest way to go abut this, would be to source the parts in Denmark (I'm from Denmark) But as the prices are very high in Denmark, I figure the next best thing is to buy from the UK.
So I'm currently looking for a good shop to place my order at. I'll be buying quite a lot I think so hopefully I'll be able to get a little discount.
So far I've found:
MR2-Ben.co.uk
TCBparts.co.uk
Fensport.co.uk
carparts4less.co.uk/car-parts
gtschris.com/
Buy I'm curious as to know if you know of a better place to source the parts? So far I'm leaning towards MR2-Ben as they seem the cheapest.
Parts like: Wheel bearings, brakes, dust shields, abs sensors, bushings, steering components, cooling components, components for a transmission rebuild, electric speedo. Also looking for a good deal on a Quaife lsd.
Right now I'm sort of split between TCB and MR2-Ben. Genuine Toyota parts is not a must, as the car will only be used very little each year. However comparing wheel bearings from the two sites: TCB (Solid Auto - Chinese), MR2-Ben (FAG - Indian well renowned) it would seem that MR2-Ben has the better quality parts (There is a limit to what I will install on my car, and cheap Chinese parts is out of the question)
What do you guys think? Most people have suggested TCB. Where would be the wisest place to place my order? Or maybe you know of a company not on the list?
