Its like 30 bucks at toyota... Just go to a dealer, at least thats how much they are out here at Hamer Toyota.....


Do you recommend me getting these? Will it help with the noise/performance?...Also it seemed like he was saying I should get some aftermarket performance ones or something.

u should be able to use your current ones for a long while before they go bad. I had to replace mine since I angle my car on inclines all the time and all that pressure that it takes... but Milt is right... should be around $30

remember to get an alignment after youre lowered
