GP/Sorensen OE part quality?
I'm replacing my distributor cap and rotor and the local Advance sells GP/Sorensen parts, I don't really know all that much about the different part manufacturers and was wondering if those would be fine. If not, what brand should I look for?
I'm also replacing my plugs (BR9EQ14) and plug wires, are the NGK #9111 plug wires fine?

1) Mazda OE parts from the dealer is still available on alot of basic stuff
2) Beck-Arnley from Napa and other places is decent stuff.
Never heard of GP/Srenson so no opinion.

I can order the Beck/Arnley dist. cap off of another site, but I haven't seen a Beck/Arnley rotor, only Bosch.
All Autozone sells is a brand called "Wells"....

I worked for many aftermarket companies.. Advance, Parts America, Napa, Pep Boys, Forest City.. and probably a few others I may have forgotten.. lol.. but GP Sorenson parts are quality parts for the most part. If you want to avoid any electronics company.. make it Wells. Their parts, imho, are some of the worst quality. GP/Sorenson, Beck/Arnley, Standard Ignition, Napa (which is Standard) are some of the top quality parts.. Hope this helps.. BTW, Non electronic parts have a one year warranty at Advance.

I can't edit my last post, so I have to make a new one.
I actually found the Bosch parts really cheap from www.nopionline.com, yes I know they're a rice company, but if they have the parts cheaper, and they really are bosch, maybe that would be best...

Yeah I think I'm going to get the stuff from nopi online since I can get a Bosch cap, rotor, and NGK spark plug wires for around $35 before shipping..quite a bit cheaper than Advance.

By the way.. The economy wires that Advance sells SUCK.. I forgot to mention that.. They aren't GP, they are some other crappy brand.. Stay away from them and get the Bosch wires..
