reputable parts source?

[msbweiland]

Is there a reputable source for DSM parts that you would recommend? My parts store wants $600 for a full kit for my 4g63t with pistons and timing kit. I'm just looking for a stock setup, nothing special. It does although have a upgraded turbo I'd like to take advantage of if I can.
Anyone try the ebay kit?

Which ebay kit are you speaking of? If you are talking about the turbo, it's not worthwhile. Do not rely on Ebay for anything that could be considered a vital component. For gasket sets, ebay is nearly unbeatable. For Turbo kits, you'll most likely need to replace it after very little time.

$600 for pistons, and timing kit seems about right, assuming they are quoting Mitsu parts. If you check out the supported vendors on this site, they are all tried and true suppliers of DSM parts. They will all have different specialties, so shop around before making any purchases.
