That's for the whole set from camskill in the uk don't know how that goes price wise agaist stuff in aus haven't priced them befor
Send them a email asking for shipping costs to get a overall cost
Might want to think bout buying a bunch of other stuff while your at it I spent 800 or so on parts from them =)

Shipping from the UK is phenomenal. I'd say you're going to get them faaaaar cheaper buying them here. I believe there's a thread in the FTO Help section that covers aftermarket parts, so I'd recommend having a look at the options in there.

Happy hunting :)

It sure as hell isn't anywhere near $500. Plus, you can walk straight back into the store if they're faulty, rather than pay for shipping.

Then put em on yourself and pay $100 for alignment.
