Default Good source for Window Regulators?

Hey everyone, I am in need of both window regulators. I am wondering what people generally go to for new regulators, mine is a 1995 SC400.

I've tried looking on EBAY and such, but they're all listed as SC300 SC400 and I know they're two different ones.

Thanks.

I ordered a regulator from Aliga about 5 yrs ago and its still going strong. If you want a new one, the dealership is going to be the place to go. You can also repair your current one, or reinforce the used one using the info O.L.T. posted years ago, I did this with my used one before installing it:

aliga costs roughly $100 per regulator, at least from what I've seen...depends on the SC I guess. I just use ebay.

Here is the thread that shows it.

If you don't believe me try fitting either one into the opposite car. lol. Ones a little longer and holes don't line up without modification.

^^Crap!! Then I just bought the wrong regulator. My car is a sc400 and I bought one for a 300 cause I thought for sure they were interchangeable.

Something else to note with these regulators, 92-94 are different from 95-00 regulators. Different bolt pattern I recall

The one I bought was from a 95 sc300 but I own a 400.
That's 114 dollars down the drain...
