[s-cars] Time for Rear Brakes

[Tom Green]

Thanks for the hint, Peter.

I should add that if you put your VIN in the order, any mismatch in
parts should result in an email inquiry.  However, this just results in
a delay in the order and usually a price adjustment.

I have not found a better place for genuine parts.  On my last order
they cut the shipping to half of the catalog listed price.  I think that
verifying part numbers myself helps keep costs down also.
