Where to buy parts

[Xevuhtess7]

hey where do you guys buy your performance parts from? i see a lot of sites, but i dont know if they are reputable dealers, and from your experience where do you seem to find the best prices? brick and mortor locations too!

mabye this could become a sticky too if the info is abundant enough

Go to http://www.ctmotorsport.com/ for all your Camry parts. Sean (aka soundlzrd) will hook you up!

Sean, I sent you a PM with the details where you can send a cheque for the advertising. At least I'm not lazy like Bluemeanie just putting a link in my sig

hey

i agree with the above poster. ctmotorsport.com has some good stuff at good prices. i also shopped on ebay alot. i got my rear spoiler, my tokico struts, eibach pro spring kit, etc off ebay. not from an individual selling the stuff, but they're companies who also posted on ebay. saved like $50-80 on the struts, at least $40 on the springs, etc from shopping on ebay. they also have cheap front strut tower bars, if interested. i got mine for $15! (but s/h was $15...so it was $30 total). but for stuff like reverse indiglo gauges (white sporty gauges during the day), go to ebay first. i made the mistake of buying it directly from procarparts.com and it was a mistake...overpaid by $20-25! (got them for $50...had it on ebay same item for $25-30!)


well hope that helps. i've only started a few months ago...

in addition...the website isn't always (never ) up to date with products they offer. Just email them if you can't find what you;re looking for and see if they can get it for you.

I do my best, but i special order alot of parts for everyone. Suppliers come to me daily and say, "I can get this brand now" but never give me pricing. Sorry about that, ill get on them.

Phi, when i start to make money, ill send you the same payment I sent Eric, Nothing yet. :p Im trying, but ebay hurts.

ive had good results with www.summitracing.com

dont know if they make camry stuff but well worth a try!

[Xevuhtess7]

does sean "hook us up" with lower prices then whats on the site? or just parts that aren't listed there that can be special ordered?

by the way my name is sean too

[soundlzrd]

I cant go lower on my prices, there isn't much markup. When I do more volume, I can lower prices. The deals are on special order stuff mainly.
Sean
Seans a great name isnt it?

[Xevuhtess7]

yes its a lovely name cept when people make fun of you and call you "seen"....

i have a quick question bout your tokico struts for 92-94. it says (exc. sealed strut) for two of them. does the exc mean exluding, meaning like for serviceable struts? and why are the rear struts more expensive then the front ones?

tokico lists their replacement cartridges under the 92-94 category. you should only buy those if you know you have a serviceable strut. otherwise the 95/6 struts are sealed assemblies. those fit all gen 3 camrys.

since the front and rear struts are not exactly alike, the prices wont be either.

What Jon said.
I agree with you about the seen thing

there have been several threads on how to determine, including pictures and all.
