Considering that there were only ~5800 RL's made in the 4 year run......there isn't a whole lot available, but there are parts around

Don't forget www.CrateEngineDepot.com for cheaper parts through GM and a couple aftermarket parts. If you are looking at parts available through Saturn like the stage kits, PM Ozerman, he'll hook ya up at a good price.

CED actually beats OZ's price (unfortunately), but OZERMAN is a good guy & I'd buy from him for that reason alone....lol

Plus you're getting the parts from a Saturn dealer, if that makes you feel better....lol

I know of 4 brands of rotors off hand, GMPP, Powerslot, Brembo(stock replacement), and there are a bunch of ebay kinds. Pads, did you not look at Gravana? They have Hawk, Powerstop, and EBC, each in at least 2 different uses. Strut bars, SMS is the best IMO, but there is SPS, the Jason Smith bar, and a couple generic ebay ones again.

I guess I'm not seeing what your problem is here...

Does the BB throttle body really make a difference? When i looked into the people i talked didn't actually have it, they just said that there really wasn't that much difference between the two. enlighten me

well honestly some people dont spend the time to look into how it helps the car out, my buddy has one on his SL2, but his car is rebuilt and it makes a difference. 4 me it opens the throttle more and lets more air through and i get a quicker throttle response than with my stock one, it only costed $190 cuz i sent my stock one back as a refurbish to make a new BB.
