Best Place To Buy OEM Parts?

Is there a good place to buy OEM parts for the FD RX7 or is that just not happening anymore? If not, what are the best manufacturers of direct replacement parts for suspension pieces or brake pieces, etc.? I see Dorman and Mevotech but not sure if they are up to OEM standards.

From the time I joined this forum. The local dealership has always given discounts. Some do 10% and some do 20%

I get all my stock parts from the dealer unless its a ridiculous price. I find it strange that in the US people don't get the same discounts

Cheaper, I'd imagine as well. Ray, being in VA, should be much closer to Norway than Japan is. There is also much to be said about buying from Ray. You can call him up, without knowing the part number, and he will find out what part you describe. Try doing that online.
