Just curious.  On your F-body, where did you buy your aftermarket parts from?

Good question.  Don't really remember :)  I went to http://www.f-body.org years ago and bought from a couple of the shops advertised there, but because of the restrictions on allowed mods for autox stock classes I only got koni single-adjustable shocks, air filter, plugs, wires, and brake pads.

For OEM parts I usually end up buying from GMPartsDirect.com, and I eventually switched back to genuine GM-distributed OEM brake pads because they seemed to last a long time even when racing autox, without any squealing with minimal dusting.  I tried the GM durastop pads but they dusted badly and were downright hazardous in the rain since they'd float for a second then grab one at a time.  I think slotted or drilled rotors are pretty much required for durastop pads to be safe, but autox doesn't allow that in stock classes so no durastops for me.

f-body.org has had some ups and downs and right now they seem to be operating, but it's not as robust of a site as it used to be.  Still, it's probably a good place to start looking.

Everyone I know, goes away, in the end.
