Skylar Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Anybody know of any Vw shops or other shops that sell Empi axles in the Seattle area ? Or around Auburn, Kent, Tacoma ? I've searched google and all it came up with was Vw dealerships pretty much . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLoyale Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I bought a EMPI for my EA82 once, it only had some assembly oil in the CVJ! Talk about quality control sleeping on the job. My other EMPI was good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eulogious Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 There are a couple of shops just outside of lakewood that had them in stock for about $80 I believe it was. This was a couple of years ago... I just called around to about 5 different shops, and 2 of the 5 had them in stock, something like that. I asked this question about 2 years ago it seems according to a quick search: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=108599&highlight=empi Last post is the place I called and had them in stock... HTH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylar Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 Oh right on ! Good to know . I actually just ordered one from Rockauto , they're 53.79 ? a piece . Shipping is kinda a hit or miss. Sometimes it ships from one warehouse and you pay less, sometimes it ships from 2 warehouses and you pay more. I paid 91 bucks for an axle, a repair manual and 2 exhaust gaskets . Shipping was around 23 bucks, so not too bad . Now just gotta wait for em to arrive !

GeneralDisorder Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Yeah call around to shops in your area. I pay $63 each from my local supplier. After shipping it would be more than that from rockauto. But then I have an awesome supplier . GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
