We have had very good luck lately with Minimal Motoring/Vipernoir www.vipernoir.com/ MiniMania is the king Daddy of Mini parts suppliers, but kind of like Crutchfield is for car stereo. They almost always have whatever part you need, and excellent service, but you usually pay a bit more for the privelige. Minimotors.com is owned by the owner of Mini Mania, but sometimes the prices are a bit cheaper as it is internet only. I haven't ordered anything from GBcarparts, but I have heard good things from those who have. DJminis.com is often a good bit cheaper than most suppliers, but the owner/operator is a good bit more laid back than most suppliers as well, and you may or may not get quite the correct order.

Alright, Great recommendation Alan!! Minimal Motoring is good! I ordered the parts Tuesday, and they arrived Friday!! All the work is now done, to include new slave Cyl ,system flushed and converted to DOT5 Silicone fluid, New Rotors and Pads, hardware painted and front suspension bits painted/detailed as well! It looks Great up there and I'm glad to have that behind me!! It's something to do to a vehicle when I get it, just so I know it's all fresh/clean! It's OCD, I'm blessed with it!!
Anyway, Thanks for the recommendation!
