Question

When you ask a question like that you got to be more specific. Are you asking about OEM parts or performance parts?

I buy all of my OEM parts from Ray Crowe at Malloy Mazda 1 (888) 533-3400

For performance parts I usually buy them from the RX7 Store, Gotham Racing and Rotary Extreme. Hope that helps

I think it is safe to say for OEM Ray seems to be the only place to go.

However, for aftermarket parts it all depends on loyalties and GB's or deals of the sort. Also I think it would be kinda unfair to ask who has the best prices. Because no matter what usually when someone has a better advertised price if you bring it to another merchant he will meet or beat that price. It is just a logical way to do business.

Also it depends on what you are looking for..... High end products that RE carries some other places don't carry. Also I think it is important to realize that there is a price for every piece. Or as most say you gotta pay to play.

High End - Rotary Extreme
Specialty JDM - FDNewbie
General - Rx7Store.net ( Jason ), rx7.com.

And if you are really smart Inukai @ Re Amemiya (Smart = Loaded),

Good luck, good shopping and may the best vendor win,

Alex

All of the above are great places. Ray is definetly the best place for OEM parts. Ive had great experiences with Jason at rx7store, and with gotham, and with rx7.com.

But my favorite place to get parts is the forsale section of the forum. Best deals are there.

The best thing is to decide what you want to buy. Is it OEM or aftermarket. If it's OEM, buy it from Ray @ Malloy or you're local dealer if their prices are competitive. If it's aftermarket, shop it around and see who has the best price WITH the best service. Sometimes, that can be a trade-off. I personally would much rather spend a little more from someone that has better service. I have purchased parts from RX-7 Store and personally never had a bad experience, as well as Rotary Performance and SR Motorsports. If it's used parts, the classifieds section on here is a good source.

ahem... *cough* I think I'm usually cheaper than Ray (or anyone else), except when he has a sale on. But his loyal customer base speaks for itself - good service is hard to find these days.

I've actually never been loyal to Ray, although he does have good prices and service. I was lucky enough to have a really good local Mazda dealer that gives me cost + 10% on most parts, and sometimes cost on other parts.

As long as you are actually getting cost price! (that's easily checked online these days, it seems).

Ray's prices are very competitive with Mazdaspeed Motorsports for the OEM stuff. The stock pillowball bushings are $43 + CA tax + Shipping from Mazdaspeed, low $50's with shipping from Ray, and $90 from most dealerships.

Do not get anything from RX7Trix.net i ordered a set of wheels from them and they screwed me over. I ordered them back in January of last year, i still dont have the wheels or my money back. Ive tried calling Brandon, but he no longer answers my calls. Has anyone else experienced anything like this from them?
