The dealer is the best place to get timeing belt parts. We get a good discount from Brookdale Mitsu. They have there own section in the forum where you can get price quotes and stock checks.

Go to the dealer for most stuff. Anything you can't get there for a decent cost, check at an auto-parts store.

I would advise against SBR.

Re: best place to get parts?

I support Brookdale Mitsubishi for stock items. I have a Mitsu dealer 35 minutes from me in central WI and I still choose to do all my business with Brookdale. They ship it to me and I have next day here in WI. I like them because anything I order over the phone I don't have to tell a story to explain what I need and I don't need to give them the dam VIN#.

For aftermarket stuff, ExtremePSI ALL the way. I've spent thousands with them. Excellent service.

I agree with most people. The Dealer ship for most of the belts and items you can not get at a parts store. If you can get said item at a parts store call around to get the right price. Some places is cheaper then the other. As for aftermarket. One of the shops on this site. They will help you get the right parts. Good luck man.

Re: best place to get parts?

I ordered most of my Gaskets and Hardware from JNZ



I'd suggest MAP for belts and other parts. MAP has a great deal on GATES belts/hoses.
