What is the best High Quality Starter and Bendix???

[2lick]

I have 2 good working older OEM starters and 1 working OEM bendix.
I don't want to mess around and screw up a 6 bill flywheel either. I am thinking of getting a brand new starter and bendix.

What are the good brands to buy? Where are some good prices? What is good to stay away from?

Yes, I realize It will be around 200 for starter and 100 for bendix. I feel its worth it, convince me otherwise.

Another vote OEM! Even a good condition used OEM Starter and Bendix are better than the AM ones.

I can tell you that AQUATORQUE's are junk,the ones Discount Battery and starters sells are hit and miss,Gokis are junk,anything that says MES on it is junk,besides oem I think that pretty well covers it,I usually put in OEM rebuilts myself.

Yet another vote for OEM. They are the only ones that seem to last.

I have bought very clean used OEM's from Zig and others in here. Zero issues.

OEM only IMO too.
