i have heard of nothing but nightmare stories from world suspension. please, for the safety of others on the road, go with a name brand.

Yes - unless you are selling the car I would call Carson Toyota and get OEM. prices are closer than you think. I saw the same on EBay and opted for OEM even though I don't use my LS very much anymore.
