Based upon a good report here by the ever popular nospam posted here I also
orderemy new akibono ceramic front brake pads (will report how they turn out
for my 94 940 turbo S/W) NGK V type plugs (to save a trip to the store) and
a pair of tailgate lift struts.

I ordered the stuff on Wednesday around 3.30 PM Eastern time on line. The
stuff was here in the Philadelphia area about 24 hours later!

The stuff cost just under $100 and freight was $6.50!

They get my vote! (unless it turns out the stuff does not fit...)

The pads I got are Akibonos which everyone I spoke to said were better then
PBR. Rock did have A/C delco ceramics for around $50.00 I think.

The plugs and the tailgate struts were the same price, which leads me to say
that FCP would charge about the same as Rock for the akibonos too...

I've done a fair amount of business with rockauto.com. No complaints
from me. Two other sources I typically check are fcpgroton.com and
alleurasianautoparts.com. On any given order any of the three of them
might have the best price. I've bought from 'em all and recommend 'em all.
