Might try going to Fatwallet.com, search Advance Auto. Fatwallet can usually steer you to some significant discounts if Advance lists the items. You can order online with the discount code and pick up at your local store in an hour if in stock. One of the few places which will offer deep discounts on Optima batteries, as an example. I will have to check interchanges when I get home; there should be some good interchange info on line by checking different applications for the same part number.

As silly as this may sound, try Amazon and E-Bay. Not for used parts, but for vendors that sell and drop ship.

I do a lot of order to pick up in store at advanced auto. I use TRT30 as a discount code. It's 30% off. Should be nice if they still have drums.
