scottj Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I'm getting sick of paying for expedited shipping for parts I need from East Coast vendors. Who are the players on the West Coast besides Rallitek and Crucial? It seems like living in CA there should be some vendors and manufacturers nearby but it seems like eveyrone that makes and sells parts for Subarus are on the Eastern seaboard.

UCDlgt Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I am also very interested in finding this out. I, as well, live in the Bay Area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCSpecB Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Depends on what you're looking for, Capitol Subaru seems to be on par pricewise with east coast vendors for OE parts. As far as aftermarket, there's pretty much only install shops. GST Motorsports in Hayward is cool, they seem to have quite a few parts that roll in there (although most stuff would have to be ordered I imagine.)

UCDlgt Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Damn, GST looks great. I just went on their website and they have a very complete online store.....and theyre close by to me! Seems like they'll be doing some work for me this summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottj Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 They do claim to have $250k of merchandise in stock. Unfortunately not what I am looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCSpecB Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 They service evo and wrx mostly, so I imagine the stock is geared that way. I just had them install springs last week and they're great guys. Got me in last minute and were entertaining while I waited. I found it easier to get ahold of them by sending a PM via I-Club.com... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCSpecB Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Yeah it seems like it, the only thing I've had quoted from them was the SPT exhaust. Local dealer wanted almost $1100, Capitol and Fred wanted around 850-900 IIRC...Here's Capitol's Parts Website http://subarupartsdepartment.com/ . Its kind of strange how they have it setup, like its some random nationwide parts warehouse, but when you call it goes straight to the parts counter at the dealer. I told a buddy of mine who works at SC Subaru about the exhaust price, he was floored and said that Capitol was selling it for below cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
