anyone know who makes the best automotive wiring "stuff?" crimp connectors, heat shrink, covers for harnesses, etc. Is there a "vibrant performance" of wiring supplies?

Its a lot more complicated than just picking one seller.

i have used wirecare.com and ballenger motorsports. ballenger has a section specifically for miata connectors. Ballenger Motorsports - High Performance Electronics
There is a thread on here called connector witchhunt that might be useful also.
