It really depends on what kind, i.e. OEM vs Non-OEM, performance or not. Also one thing to keep in mind is that sometimes you can get OEM without the Honda bagging/branding; like Denso relays or O2 sensors.

If it's a non-performance OEM part, I'll look between RockAuto, Amazon, and one of the Acura dealer vendors on here.

If it's a performance part, I usually go with either HeelToe or EndlessRPM; they're both similar in price but sometimes one outdoes the other by about $10-$15.

acuraoemparts seems to be the best place for OEM. If I were you, I'd go OEM and spend a few extra bucks for quality.

This is a pretty good categorization.

For suspension hard parts like tie rods, ball joints, and bushings, I would buy Genuine Honda/Acura parts for SURE. Either from a dealer or dealer source. I would not buy Moog or "OE equivalent" garage.

Acura genuine is your best bet for a steering rack as well...but for price reasons, I guess you could probably get away with a OEM aftermarket (original equipment manufacturer) steering rack. Find a stamping or sticker on your existing rack to see who manufactures it. Then try to find that manufacturer on rockauto or similar. Or buy used genuine Honda/Acura from a part out.

I would also try and stick with Acura genuine for suspension springs if you're leaving the car stock. Quality aftermarket if you plan on modifying ride height.

Aftermarket shocks from Koni are probably better than the Acura originals.
