I have purchased a few cheap things from them with no incidents. I know someone that bought some body kit parts from them and they were great to work with.

I had problems with them - sort of. I ordered some parts, but they never came in. I called them up about it and they explained that their supplier fell through on them. So it wasn't their fault directly. However, if they had the stuff in stock and just back filled it after I had ordered it, everything would've been cool. They were apologetic about it. They mentioned that many other people ordered the same thing (SS oil cooler lines) and they all were in the same boat. On the other hand, everybody that I know that has dealt with them has had a positive experience. I guess I'm just unlucky like that.

I have purchased many parts from Corksport and their service has been great. I highly recommend Derrick(owner) and Corksport for parts especially hard to get items.

I heard Racing Beat is great
Guy was in area, came down uninvited and jokingly said he wanted to see where half of his paycheck went and they gladly gave him the "tour"
He also went to Mazdatriz I believe it was and they just brushed him off
Oh well

I kind of figured my case was the exception. I wound up going with Mazdatrix for my oil cooler lines. They were sincerely sorry about not being able to fulfill my order. It wasn't really a bad experience, but just one that I wanted to add to the discussion.
