Where for parts now?

[paddysaab]

Now that Elkparts is gone, where would you guys recommend for parts.
Nothing major just bushes and the like

Turners Hill Saab have an online shop  http://www.saab.uk.com/saab-parts.php  with a discount on parts for members of  the Saab Owners Club.  they also sell a lot of cheap parts on ebay as thgparts.

Or there's Neo Brothers  http://www.neobrothers.co.uk

And many others, many do secondhand parts in the main.

But if you know what you want there is http://www.parts-asap.co.uk run by a Saab specialist.

or there is the dealer surplus store http://www.carpartsconnexion.co.uk   or http://www.saabpartsonline.co.uk

Thanks for all the replies.
Can't believe I forgot about Neobrothers.
I hope the new girl is as reliable as the old one and that I will have forgotten all these names by the time I need parts again

Would you guys go poly or standard for the rear rollbar bushes?

paddysaab,

I'd definately go for poly on both front and rear ARBs

Good idea to do the front as well. Shipping is crazy for such a small package so I'm as well to fill the box with a few other small things( possibly gonna get new rear pads as well)

I poly bushed both front and rear ARB's on my Aero. The only problem with going for poly bushes on the front ARB is a lot of road noise is transmitted into the car, I regretted doing the front due to the amount of motorway miles that car does, its probably not helped by the stiffer (Abbot) suspension and the 45 profile tyres on 17 inch rims.

I guess the noise may not be so acute on standard tyres and suspension.

My 9000 ani's both have poly bushes on the rear (they never fail the MOT for bushes)

I have bought a number of second-hand parts from Ian at M5 Saab recently, he advertises on ebay and his user id is 'm5_saabcentre'

He is a real 9000 nut, he has a well tweaked road legal silver Aero and a stripped out stage 3 Black aero for track days. He has been able to give me useful advice and then sell me the bit that I need to fix the car on a couple of occasions. He is based just off Junction 9 of the M5, I have just been down there last weekend to pick up two doors and a wing for the wifes car.
