Thread dredge!

For those looking on rockauto for suspension bits, would the '2.2' or turbo option both be the same since the only difference is between gen 1 and 2 cars?

A lot of things should be but they had different brakes and all the swaybar sizes were different. I just plug in turbo model when buying for my NA.

Just curious to which parts you have ordered from RockAuto?
I've purchased several parts using RockAuto for my Pajero and Audi but haven't looked into the MR2 because I simply haven't needed anything. For any Trollers the online site is awesome as is the worldwide service.

Nothing yet but considering sway bar end links and dust boots for my shocks. Their prices are very sharp.

You could try BNT club discounts for some decent aftermarket links. I find the dust boots to be dust catchers so I don't run any.
