shocks, etc.

[jdbubb at ix.netcom.com (Dan Bubb)]

I generally agree with what Kevin is saying.
But, considering my location (and that Tirerack had them in their Delaware
warehouse) the shipping costs and shipping times were much in favor of the
Tirerack. Cheaper to start, cheaper to ship, one day shipping time.
As always you need to consider the whole picture and in my case Tirerack was
the cheaper solution.
Considering the whole range of parts I buy Tirerack doesn't get all that
much business from me, but they are an excellent supplier and worth
consideration.
