You should be able to find a full set (all 4) shipped for around $300. At least that's what it's going to cost for my 4Runner.

I got mine from this seller on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BILST...spagenameZWDVW

However, I got them when Paypal was running a deal (10% off any purchase) and the shipping was free I believe. So I walked away with these for about $250 shipped).

This seller has great feedback, so bid with confidence.

I just checked AutoZone this morning and could not find them. If they still stock them, they are not listed.

Sporty - elminates most body roll - keeps your tires glued to the ground - gives you way more control. A little firmer, but the control you get makes up for it that's for sure.

I love my Bilsteins. Great ride. I just put in my TRD and Ome coils. Haven't driven it much since. But the limited amount they still feel great. I'll let you know in a week or so.

I got to drive on the highway this week and got some miles down. For cost reasons I kept my fairly new Yellow and Blue Bilsteins. I know the OME shocks are suspose to be better, but... WOW. What a great ride. I'm staying with my Bilsteins for now. The TRDs and OME 890s ride great on road. Small bumps that I used to avoid I can just float thru now. My conical rear overloads were about 1/4" off the axle, now they are about 3".

I love the firm but not stiff feel of the Bilsteins.
