    Rock Auto - parts from the US

    Just a heads up, I recently brought some parts for my Chevrolet from Rock Auto in the US. Prices are reasonable for a lot of items (some not so much). Anyway I had a quick look at some of the common D3 items and theres a fairly broad range of prices (and I would assume quality) and several cheaper options out there especially for suspension arms. Any way thought it worth posting up as its just another option for getting parts

    I went with the cheapest option which was around 6(working)days to get here. Can pay more to get it quicker, but with my work roster the wait works fine for me as I dont really get any opportunity to get any work done at home when Im rostered on. Im also another day or two for delivery compared to a capital city

    I've been buying a bit of gear from the US (Pennsylvania) for my wood turning hobby lately. Using standard USPS, I also find that about a week for delivery to Kalgoorlie is normal. If I "track" a parcel on the internet, the movements within Australia are almost always the longer part of the process.
    Cheers .........

    I bought few engine parts for D3 4.0 petrol - it’s rebadged ford cologne engine hence parts are lot cheaper comparing to uk. Not so much for other parts.
    Also try PartsGeek.
    Shipment to Melbourne took around a week.
