Pretty lame question, but where is a good place to buy an automotive 30/40A Relay?

I have a bosch 20/30A one here, but its been laying around, and i'd rather buy two new ones then use one old and one new.
But anyway, its a pretty dumb question, but the only place I know where to buy electronics is RadioShack, but they seem to bring in cheaply made s*** and overprice everything.
I don't have to buy a Bosch relay, but any other place then radioshack that carries something like that for a reasonable price would be better. Anyone been to IC Supply?
I'll call em tomorrow sometime I guess. But if anyone knows for sure, lemme know so I can save myself some trouble for a stupid relay.
Thanks in advance.

you can also try napa auto, but you have to know EXACTLY what you are looking for. if you can't give them part number, you will have to look in their fat book of relays. this book lists over 500 different relays... they use a brand called echlin or something.

Gave up and went to radioshack. Napa wanted $15 bucks each .. *shrug*
I never wanted to go the car audio shop and walk away if the price was a bit much either. haha.
Actually I was pleased to see the 30a relays I bought were made in england. Although $7 a pop was still pretty steep, I gave in. I must've spent more on gas money, sheesh. Driving is too fun.
Thanks for the help though guys, I really appreciate it.
