    cheap OEM parts

    Its been a while since i tried to order parts from st charles isuzu and came to find out they dont sell isuzu parts anymore. Does anyone have a place to get oem parts cheap?

    I found isuzuparts.com which aint to bad but they dont sell the platinum plugs, I really dont feel like paying my dealer $24 for each plug.

    also has anyone tried the rotors on ebay? I need front rotors and was wondering if they are just as good as OEM or worse?

    thanks

    Try Denso "iridium power" spark plugs, as good or better than stock & much le$$. IK16 is the part # & I found them for $11.99 ea. by googleing "denso iridium". Also, the local Auto Zone had them last time I checked.

    eBay rotors from R1Concepts are VERY GOOD.

    eBay rotors from LeCarAutomobiles are VERY BAD. I don't know why I expected quality from someone with "LeCar" in their name...

    OEM Parts

    Anita told me that I should always use OEM parts- she especially mentioned brake pads, and the fact that the OEM pads last a LOT longer than any aftermarkets.

    I have no problem finding other sources of quality parts.. as long as they are quality. As far as brake pads are concerned, I have 80K miles on my VX and the pads are still good with no sign to change them up yet. My Isuzu mechanic swears on the OEM pad longevity. Maybe west coast weather conditions make them last longer???
