They suck and are over priced for there junk.

Well i hate to say it but, but ebay is a good place to find some nice things.
But you can look at http://www.jdmland.com/ or http://jhpusa.com/
I shop with jdmland a lot, matts a real cool guy, goes out of his way to help, and the more you shop there, the more he will help you out with hard to find stuff.

 

try this place: http://www.procivic.com/pages-performance/index.html

that is good one.

 

Unfortunately, if you want the best deals, usually you're going to have to shop on eBay.

Here's the best strategy for shopping on eBay:
Figure out exactly what you want before you go on eBay (brand, etc.). To do this, go to a large performance parts site and browse their webstore. Decide on a part.
Examples:
www.kingmotorsports.com
www.andysautosport.com
www.procivic.com
www.weaksauceparts.com
www.jhpusa.com

Then, go on ebay and look for the exact part you decided on. The ones sold on eBay are going to be the same exact part, just less expensive (usually less expensive).


Notes:

• Never believe the HP gains that the product descriptions claim to give you. Figure this out by doing research on car forums. This forum will do nicely for that, as most of us can give you a decent estimate of range of HP gains.
  
  
• If it's on eBay, and it says "JDM", the word "JDM" is usually there as simply a keyword and/or a word to attract buyers. Honda JDM parts are only JDM if they are OEM Honda parts from Japan. This is not to say that all parts that say "JDM" are junk even if they're not really JDM; this is only to say that if you see "JDM" and it's not an OEM Honda part, completely ignore the fact that it says "JDM".
  
  
• Stay away from parts that have a higher risk of breaking or parts that are vital to the engine. I would also avoid anything electrical, like HIDs.
  
  For example, it would be pretty hard for a generic part manufacturer to make a faulty 2-point strut bar. A 2-point strut bar is simply a metal bar with brackets on each end... very basic construction.
  
  Another type of good generic parts are headlights, foglights, and taillights (I'm talking about the housings, not the bulbs). In most cases they fit perfectly. They usually only require being sealed up with clear silicone. Many times, the lights you receive are the same brand that online stores sell.
  
  Stay away from parts like generic headers, cam gears, cams, pistons, gaskets, rods, bolts, clutches, flywheels, turbochargers, performance chips, performance modules, etc. Some people get away with this stuff, but do you really want to risk your money and possibly your engine?
  
  Another product to not touch with even a 31 1/2 pole are eBay listings for "performance chips," "performance modules," etc. even if they claim to be Mugen. They just don't work! (and they're not really Mugen, by the way)
  You can find more information about these "chips" in the ECU section of the forum.
  Always buy your "performance chip" directly from a reputable tuner/tuning company, such as www.Phearable.net
  
  
• Some brands on eBay are knock-off brands. These are somewhat easy to spot out if you know they exist. If you can't find the brand on any online store, it's probably one of these knock-off brands. Another way to find out is to do a search on a forum about that particular brand.
  
  For example, on eBay you will find "XTD" Clutches. I assume that the goal of the company was to sound like ACT Clutches (since the sound of the name is similar), a reputable clutch company. Some people have had good luck with these clutches, but many people have had problems with the disc material breaking off because of poor construction. Once again, do research before you buy.

If there's one thing I could choose to be stuck in your brain forever after reading this, it's to research before you buy something. I hope this information helps you find some good deals.
