    Default 1A Auto Question

    Has anyone bought parts from 1A Auto? If so, how did they hold up? Noticed the also offer lifetime warranty and do not require a deposit when sending replacement parts.

    Bearings?
    Suspension?
    Brakes?

    Lifetime warranties suck if the parts suck.

    E.G. Pull off strut mounts because they failed? Great...takes all day and you have to pay for an alignment afterwards. So, you saved $40 on cheap parts with a lifetime warranty, only to spend a day and $100 collecting on that warranty.

    For brakes, stick with Akebono, ATE, Bosch, etc.

    For suspension, TRW, Lemforder, IPD, Bilstein.
