www.acuraoemparts.cpm aka Del Ray Acura did well by me when I got a fat RSX sway bar for my Civic. Superior factory diagram driven interface like others.

Excellent, thanks! Been added.

Something tells me there are many more Honda sites that Acura, but I've also ordered from Cheapest Honda Parts before. I'm satisified with them.

Thanks. Added.

Before you buy from these "online" places, phone around to various dealerships in your area with the part number or part description, and get prices. You may find that a local dealership is competitive once shipping is factored into the online price.

I have learned recently that dealer prices in the NYC area vary widely as well, e.g., something that Metro Honda (Jersey City) charges $0.81 for Hudson Honda (North Bergen?) charges only $0.56. Also, Metro Honda charges $2.64 for the same part that Honda of Essex charges only $2.02.

I was at my local dealership today and I found more markup evidence.

There was an invoice from the dealership to a garage nearby that buys a lot of stuff from this dealer. It was upside down, but I managed to memorize it anyway.

Part#: 35770-SEC-A01 (SW/PWR RR) List: $82.45 Actual price: $65.96

So the garage got a 20% discount. I normally get 10%, and got 10% today.

Makes it important for those of us on a budget to shop around, for sure. At a certain point, I run out of time to spend on the phone/online/driving around to pick stuff up, though.
