Like Cadtech said, when you get a kit, you end up with parts you plan on removing anyway. For instance, I knew I was going to use RPM arms, P2 rockers, stiffer springs, GTR shocks, Al pushrods, single steering, etc. If you get a roller, you paid for all that stock stuff for no reason.

If no one will part out the pieces you want in one shot, you can get assemblies from Ebay. Things that have many parts like the axle carriers assemblies, transmission, and driveshafts can save a lot of cash buying on Ebay. However, some individual parts are almost as expensive there as in your LHS once you pay shipping costs. I guess it depends on how much you'll keep in stock form...
