Default Auto parts stores rape you on prices, need help

i need a distributor cap, distributor rotor, spark plug cables and an o2 sensor for my jdm prelude h22. it will cost me over 250 dollars if i buy from an auto parts store since they decided this car needs to have inflated part prices. anyone know of a place that sells this stuff? im looking for a good aftermarket company that has these parts, since if i have to spend that much on crap parts from a store, i might as well buy them from a good brand. thanks everyone.

it really is amazing how much local brick and motar places will try and bend you over, i guess the internet has spoiled me, but i luagh every time i get a price quote from almost anywhere on anything.

for instance, when i was shopping for a walboro 255lph fuel pump a month or two ago, i was quoted 2-250 bucks from a couple of places around here. I almost laughed out loud considering lightning sells them for what, $98?

needless to say, i dont support local auto parts stores and shops too much

The O2 sensor alone is over $200 list at your Honda dealer. Then again you don't need to worry if it is going to last at least 50k miles. The rest of the parts are fairly reasonable as well. A Cap & Rotor should not set you back much more than $20 (dealer). The Plug wires (I use NGK) are about $50 and a set of stock plugs go for ~$45. Some prices depend on where you buy and what discounts they give. My dealer gives a 15% break on parts because I am a member of Honda-Acura Club and they are too.
An H22a4 is just that so the USDM version should be the same as to these pieces.
