Default Cheapest place for parts?

Where does everyone order from? i know drift motion, carlson lexus, but i wanted a few more options. I am looking for the following.

ignition wires, rotor, cap, valve cover gaskets, cam seals, lowering springs, supra struts, rack bushings and sway bar bushings

For the bushings what do you recommend solid or denizen?
For the gaskets and seals what brand? and do I need all the valve grommets? are any other gaskets necessary for the job?
For springs I don't want to much of a drop if any in the rear, and just an inch or two in the front

Thanks guys.

For stock, a lot of people around here use Sewell Lexus. You get some sort of discount if you order from them on this forum. They aren't the cheapest, but for the quality, we cannot complain.

BTW, I have both valve cover gaskets brand new from Denso for a 92 SC400...

Not for performance parts but for your standard parts, I think rockauto.com has some great prices.

In no particular hierarchy:

OEM Lexus SC or Supra MKIV parts:
-- Carson Toyota (Internet sales parts dept through Jose or Luis)
-- Sewell Lexus
-- Elmhurst Toyota
-- Pembroke Pines Lexus (Internet sales dept)
-- Driftmotion

General Maintenance parts for either the SC300 or Supra MKIV:
oxygensensors.com
Catco
Rockauto
Autozone or Pepboys
Carquest or any place that carries Redline MT90 transmission fluid
Tirerack.com (tires, sometimes brake pads, other things)

And for all oddball unobtanium replacement parts:
CL classifieds
SF classifieds
ebay
pick-u-part junkyards
