Best place/price online for Bilsteins?

Any ideas or recommendations for Bilstein shocks on my 96 4Runner?

I think I paid $300 with tax from Autozone. Didn't have in stock but took 2days to get them.

For the mechanically challenged a little over $100 should cover install plus you'll need an alignment.

I second AutoZone.

Why will he need an alignment? He shouldn't.

Don't you need the fronts at least aligned if you remove the struts? I know on my Eclipse when the suspension was done I needed a full alignment but of course the rear is completely different than a Runner's but the front setup is similar.

Does anyone know where to buy the blue plastic boots? Mine were torn during installation and I'd like to replace them...
