Does anyone have experience buying parts from websites? (aside from eBay)
Post some positive/negative feedback if you have any.

I'd like to find a place that supports Nissan, and ships quick/unbroken..... if such a place even exists :(

I bought KYB AGX struts for my Talon from JC Whitney (USA) online. I had no problems at all, simply paid, and in no time I had the shipment at my door in perfect condition.

I've used Summit a few times, probably don't carry much if any Nissan stuff though. Have nothing but good things to say about them, even threw in some fender covers on a larger order!

The large chains are usually pretty trustworthy, watch out for some of the independents and specialty places, they can be pretty flakey, even if they advertise in major magazines, they can still be ripoffs as well.... I try and buy as much as I can from stores I can actually walk into these days, rather than ordering from a far, I had a couple of parts buys go sour last year..Maxt

www.customauto.ca is a good site too. They are also located here in Calgary.

www.enjukuracing.com

Both specialize in Nissan stuff and have excellent reputations. I've dealt with Phase2 with great results. Only problem is that they only ship to Canada by UPS...
