Default Where do you shop?!?

Whats up guys I have a 2002 is300 5 speed drift car, all stock except welded diff and coils which came on car when I got it...Iv been searching for a few hours now for places to get quality aftermarket parts and I haven't come up with much, I was looking to get an intake, headers, y pipe, full exhaust. But from what it looks like a lot of companies have gone out of business that used to sell all the good stuff, so basically my question is what brands do you guys suggest for best performance/quality and where can I get them?

sorry that was way longer than anticipated lol...newbie only 17 work hard at my age to pay for this hobby so I want to do it right before I buy junk parts

Thanks

damn...too bad you didn't get this car 4 months ago. I had a true cold air intake (fabricated by LMW) and an hks hyper ti-carbon fiber axel back. the intake was part of their custom turbo kit and instead of connecting to the intercooler, they just cut the pipe a little short and added a cylindrer filter. you had to cut into the fire wall though. the filter sat behind the right fog light so it was protected nicely and got ram air through the slot next to the fog light!

Figs has a lot of suspension parts and a few engine parts.
Dezod makes a couple headers.
Swift Racing Technologies for the intake and other parts
If you want something japanese, it's best to just google search exactly what you're looking for (say, IS300 HKS) then find the best price that way. Otherwise, it's better to just visit a shop local to you and order it that way
