where do you go to get your replacement boots, rebuild kits, gaskets etc...?
i've used rock auto for an alternator belt, and finish line performance for boots and stuff
is there a place you like that has a balance between quality and pricing?

Finish Line, Local NAPA Store, and RockAuto.
Shipping from Rockauto could be pricey. Parts ship from different warehouses and tends to jack up the price considerably if ordering a lot of different parts.But overall a good experience.
Rosenthal/Finish Line is reasonably priced, and ships quickly, good people.
Napa is for **** that I need immediately.

I buy almost exclusively from Finish Line. That is mostly because they are only 25min away and open 7 days a week. It is hard not to support a dealership that is that awesome.
For small local things I usually just hit up autozone though.

For me, it used to be a choice between cheap **** from Autozone, Advanced Auto, RockAuto, and pricey **** from MazdaSpeed (or, even pricier **** from dealers, no matter how fantastic their service is). Even though I get preferential price from Mazda as a racer, stuff would still add up.
Now, I go with partsmatrix.com. Lance is tremendous. Fast, cheaper than Mazda, and very high quality.
