Any recommendations for online parts stores for suspension parts (stock) and brake system components (lines, rotors, master cyclinder, etc.).

I tried JC Whitney and Performance Products.

I'm just looking for some good prices.

I think you're better off with a local branch of a national chain that offers LLT warranty on most parts, like NAPA, Advance, O'Reilly, CarQuest, Parts Plus, or All-Pro. It's MUCH easier to get warranty service locally than over the net.

I would second Steve83. Online prices look cheap, but then you gotta pay freight unless you're spending big bucks. And you can forget about support after the fact. And if you get the wrong parts, it can set you back for days while you wait for replacement, not to mention it can take weeks to get credit to your account. And you have to go thru the hassle of shipping everything back yourself and getting authorization before you can even do that.

I'm not against online shopping. I buy a lot of parts for my PWC online, mainly because of a lack of local sources for the trick stuff and dealers that don't have any inventory.
