David, I don't know anything about Ecklers, but I know plenty about NAPA. If you want first class parts for your Chevy (like Moog), then shop NAPA. The prices have to be competitive or they could not stay in business. You never know about some of these other companies, the parts could be Chinese-made junk.
Now, having said that, here's something I want you to keep in mind. This has nothing to do with cars, but is just an observation of mine that I want to share with you. When I was a kid, anything that was marked "Made in occupied Japan" was junk. Yes, everything made there was marked that way because the country was occupied by United States Armed Forces. That was at the end of World War 2 and went on for quite some time. I was born in 1942 and I remember the "occupied" label being used until up into the early 1950's at least. Slowly, Japanese technology improved and the workers and management took a mindset that they were going to be the best in the world and by golly, I defy you to find anything today that is made in Japan that is junk. It is absolutely state of the art and first class in every respect. As you grow older, you remember that I said this......."One day, Chinese products will enjoy the same reputation that Japanese products do today". For now, they are junk, but it won't always be that way. They are an emerging nation and one day they just might be the strongest country in the world. Moral of the story: learn Chinese.
