down with NAPA
i ordered brake pads from NAPA
and found that they dont know the difference from GXLs and other 7s, 4 piston calipers and whatever else they suck they said something about "super hard suspension for California use only" :wtf: |
i got a thermostat from them and it was set to open at 195, i wasnt pleased

As all autoparts stores have in thier books only what the parts manufactures (like Bendix or whoever) write, you will need to know some of the basics.
For example in the aftermarket replacements parts like brake parts, Bendix uses the term "Heavy Duty suspension" or "hard suspension" too means the 5 lug 4 piston front brakes and the 5 lug vented rotor rear brakes such as found on the GXL, Sport, GTUs, 88 GTU, 'vert or T2. Frankly IMO, I think its pretty lame to be knocking the part seller, instead of the manufacture who tells the seller what they manufacture, just because you don't understand the terminology the manufacture uses. |
yeah i know it was kinda lame
but every things pissin me off today so i didnt really mean to diss the parts seller but it does seem stupid for them not to easily distinguish from the models like gxl, gtu, etc. but who is going to challenge a big company, im happy just to get the parts i need for somewhat cheap |
Service varies from store to store too. One parts store in my town looks down their nose at me anytime I ask for a part for a "foreign" car. Sometimes tells me they can't even get them.
The same brand store on the other side of town is quite friendly and finds me the parts the other store said they couldn't get. |
i live in a small hick town
and they think anything not from detroit is from the devil lol that might be why they cant get the parts right and you know what they charge for a brake rotor? 85 bucks! thats a normal, not crossdrilled or nothin WTF |
Shouldn't this belong in the Vendors area?

p.s. Not REALLY a vendor issue, more like "how to order parts" so we'll keep it here.
