    Parts?

    Not really ‘technical’ but couldn’t find a relevant category.

    So where do people actually buy upgrade parts from these days? Obviously there’s the main ones like driftworks and japspeed but apex is gone now and all the sites with good parts are in different countries and have eye watering shipping costs.

    Can some of you enlighten me with some new sites I might have missed?

    Thank you

    What do you need specifically??

    Hardrace do alot of suspension arms, BC, HSD and many other do coilovers. Radiator, intercooler, exhaust etc you've still got plenty of options.

    Did Apex go full distributor then and no longer sell parts direct to consumers?

    Most of my old car was made from US and Apex parts, shipping isn't always as bad as you think.

    Part Shop Max, Mazworx, SPL and Fullrace are all stateside.
    GKTech is in Australia and always quick.
    Plenty of companies over here popping up for used spares and wheels (JDMDistro etc)
    Nengun and RHDJapan remain popular.

    I would always avoid Japspeed, it's just garbage stuff.

    I've bought the majority of my parts from Slide Motorsport.

    Highly recommend them.

    Parts?

    Not really sure what happened to apex, I went to look on their site one day and it was gone and I haven’t seen it back since

    I had a look on part shop max the other night and the shipping was almost triple the part cost!

    FRSport I have used before and I found them spot on with cost and delivery times but again I had a look the other night and the shipping was over £500 which almost doubled the cost of my order before any import taxes!

    Not sure if brexit could be causing shipping prices to jump up?

    The main parts I have been looking at are the new tomei turbo elbow, metal undertray / skid plate, street faction bash bar and a few bits and bobs from GKTech.

    Apex has more or less stopped dealing with the public I believe, they had a massive clearout of remaining stock last year too.
