cheapest place to buy this stuff?

I'm looking to buy these parts for the cheapest price. If anyone knows a store that sells all of these for very cheap then that's even better, so I'll save on shipping/handling charges:

Clear Corners (think I saw them somewhere for $30)
Strut Tower Bar (I know eBay has them for $15 but the shipping is high. Is this the cheapest I can find them for?)
Rear Sway Bar (I want the cheapest price for a good performance RSB, like ADDCO or something. Not a ripoff brand like Stillen, though)
Cold Air Intake (I know that Bomz makes them cheap, but then i'd probably upgrade to a bigger K&N filter and it would end up costing more. What's the cheapest I can find a good one for where I don't need to upgrade the filter for more performance?)

Also, I forgot, when buying a knock sensor do I go for Bosch or OEM? I only ask because I've heard "only go with OEM!" and also "OEM knock sensors break every 4-5 years".

Thanks! Quick replies are greatly appreciated since I'm gonna buy most of this stuff today hopefully

Check ebay auctions that have the "buy it now" feature.

actually you'll get your ebay stuff faster, cuz ebay sellers ship fast to get rating up, but the store ...... well, sometimes you can get back-order even they said they have them in stock.

Look on the Group Deal forum. Sometimes they have that stuff your looking for. I know they either have a RSB deal going on now, or recently finished...

And they work too! I put mine on last week and they actually do pretty well, only I installed mine in the Frankencar fashion...none the less the performance is there and they sound hella-cool.

But as far as the FSTB I don't think I'd go with one on ebay, they just look weak, I'd personally go with something a little more expensive w/ a little more meat on them. Just my $.02

Later,

when I say frankencar fashion I mean I just put the small tube to the throttle body and then put on the MAF sensor w/ a cone filter instead of cutting a hole in my fender wall for the CAI.

I think www.custommaxima.com has some FSTB for 95-99 maxs now, so you could check them out. I'm not too sure on any other brands other than stillen, but I know there are a bunch out there, I'm just not sure on the price.
