where to go for consumables?
where do you go to get your replacement boots, rebuild kits, gaskets etc...?
i've used rock auto for an alternator belt, and finish line performance for boots and stuff
is there a place you like that has a balance between quality and pricing?

Finish Line, Local NAPA Store, and RockAuto.
Shipping from Rockauto could be pricey. Parts ship from different warehouses and tends to jack up the price considerably if ordering a lot of different parts.But overall a good experience.
Rosenthal/Finish Line is reasonably priced, and ships quickly, good people.
Napa is for **** that I need immediately.

I buy almost exclusively from Finish Line. That is mostly because they are only 25min away and open 7 days a week. It is hard not to support a dealership that is that awesome.
For small local things I usually just hit up autozone though.

LOL, just ordered tie rod ends, lower ball joints and a motor mount for the V8 car. All three shipped from different warehouses. Kinda funny when shipping was $6.00 on a $5.56 motor mount, but at least it was $5.56 for the motor mount instead of the $12 that the chain stores wanted and I would still have to wait for it. All three packages were to my door in two days.

For me, it used to be a choice between cheap **** from Autozone, Advanced Auto, RockAuto, and pricey **** from MazdaSpeed (or, even pricier **** from dealers, no matter how fantastic their service is). Even though I get preferential price from Mazda as a racer, stuff would still add up.
Now, I go with partsmatrix.com. Lance is tremendous. Fast, cheaper than Mazda, and very high quality.
