After all the talk of how shitty ebay car parts are, you're gonna buy brakes off of it?
That's the dumbest and funniest thing i've ever heard
First off, nobody mentioned E-Bay here. He said he was going to buy it off of Craig's List, not E-Bay. And second, there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with buying parts from E-Bay. You can often find quality, name-brand parts on E-Bay for cheaper then anywhere else. The problem is with "E-Bay Parts", i.e. people that sell extremely cheap and junky parts in bulk online. These parts should be easy to recognize. A header for $30? Probably crap. Lowering springs for $20? Probably crap.
The point here is, there's nothing wrong with buying stuff from E-Bay. Just don't buy crap on E-Bay. And the crap is easy to spot...just use the old "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is" mantra...
