I got em through Weksos in Cali shipped USPS and the HT special pricing which pretty much runs year round anyways. Going this route is 850-1000US from alot of the shops down there. Up here locally its about 1400. You can buy them form the Koni and GC themselves too but just more of a hassle. Never have to worry about sending the struts out and having to get them rebuilt and paying $$. Honestly I just hear so many stories where the Teins corrode at the threads and seize up or rocks and debris deform the threads as well making it impossible to remove. I guess it goes the same for all threaded shock combos but I hear alot of stories based on the Teins where this happens. BuddyClubs are made in Taiwan now and I've heard the quality tanked. On the other hand the higher end TEIN and KW set ups are very good. Reason why I chose my set up was because I have so many options with regards to adjustability and alot of track cars at HPDE's in the US run either a Koni/GC or Koni/H&R Combo.
