So yes, I have a defunct starter. Is it best to replace it with an OEM one or should I find a different model? What do you guys use? I'll be pairing with with BHR ignition coils. Model year is an 04. I've searched but didn't find a direct answer. Thank you!

 

get an upgrade OEM starter from Mazmart, a fender of these forums.

 

He is also a vendor. Though you can get fenders through him too I imagine.

 

Ebay is your best and cheapest bet.

 

If your looking for a rebuilt starter motor at a good price, I would recommend Starter Pros. I purchased a refurbed alternator for my 04 MT last year from them. The unit was redone to like-new conditions, came with a full install kit including replacement mounting hardware, the warranty is reasonable, the service was top notch, and the unit has performed flawlessly.
