My last post just reminded me I've had pretty good experience with BMA Auto
Parts in Burbank, CA.

I 've gotten a slew of parts from them over the years including brake
components (drums, rotors, wheel cylinders, calipers, master cylinder) which  were
all ATE. Clutch cylinder, exhaust componenets, bosch tune up parts, Hella
lights, etc.

They're a discount house and they do ship. My only experience is with doing
business with them locally over the counter. The advantage is they can get the
 parts usually same day or next day. And if you go locally you don't have to
deal  with any shipping/ and or shipping returns.

Since they're a discount house they automatically move to get the best  price
on a part, but I always ask the manufacturer in this case. They can  usually
get a manufaturer you want. Meaning they may have a price on rotors but  a
brand I may not particularly want, so I'll say what else can you get. And
they'll say, well I can get ATE but it'll be $5 more. So i go with ATE or what  have
you for the few more bucks--but still definately a discounted price
comprable to some vendors we normally use.

BMA is in the south end of Burbank, CA on Victory Blvd. near the Glendale
border.

Just a heads up. I don't own it or have any interest in the biz.
