Buying brake parts from Rock Auto
Just wondering if it's a smart thing to do by buying brake parts from Rock Auto. Calipers, brake lines, and rotors. I think they sell a lot of remanufactured stuff so I dont know if it's very safe or not.

They have the manufacturers and condition listed and many options. It'll be the same thing as buying locally, with a potential cost savings when comparing apples to apples. They'll sell you crap parts if they're available, great parts if they're available, and mid range parts if they're available. It's no different than shopping anywhere else.

I got the wrong coils once. Getting the part swapped out was much easier than I thought it would be. Ill keep using them when they are cheaper than buying local.
