I am planning on building a 25-30 capacity sysport in plywood.  I have watched lots of videos and it seems like many people use Wurth 14" full extension drawer slides.  Does anyone know where I can buy Wurth in the USA (i am just a diy builder) and all the places i have found seen to only sell to trade?

Are there any other alternatives i should buy instead that follow the Euro spacing in the USA?  (maybe ProMarkl) that are good quality but not super expensive?

Thanks in advance!
 
I bought 12" w/ 1" over travel slides off Ebay for mine.  Pull out and can open lid completely.
 
Accuride and Knape & Vogt both make quality full extension slides.  You know the size (14") you need to know the load capacity.

Light duty = up to 139 lbs.
Medium duty = up to 169 lbs.
Heavy duty = from 170 to 1,300 lbs.

The big problem is that there are so many options that it may be nearly impossible to decide.

Woodworkers Express is very competitive and their site is easy to navigate: https://www.woodworkerexpress.com/Side-Mount-Drawer-Slides/

AH Turf is also very competitive.  But I find their site burdensome to navigate. https://ahturf.com/hardware/drawer-slides.html

 
Generic 14" Full Extention drawer slides work fine. Its just shop furniture so no need to break the bank. Cheapest place is usually just a local cabinet parts supplier or hardwood dealer. Both should sell slides cheaper than HD, Amazon and others.
 
I generally stick with Knape & Vogt. I have had good experiences with them in the past. 

I've ordered 14" Full Extension Soft Close for my upcoming Sysport build
 
Are you looking at the Wurth undermounts?  If you haven't already purchased, check out the Blum Tandem Blu-motion series.
They are awesome!

I used Accuride side mounts for my 'Sysport'.  They are 'ok' to me.  I also used them in the stair drawers for my kid's loft beds.
They just aren't as smooth as Blum and the Accuride soft close is nowhere near Blum's.

As another poster mentioned, check out A&H Turf.  Their prices beat any of the competitors I've looked at.  Plus, their customer service is great to work with.  You can always call and place the order if you don't like their website.  Depending on quantity they might even get you a better price than what's on their website.
