Default Ball Joints, HELP

My GS4 2000 needs new ball joints. I found a site about a month ago for $60 ea. I let it go. Then I never got the same price again. Now are $81.... I found another place... (think was Sewell parts but not sure) for $76ea but when you buy both were at $123. I let it go again...
Now I can't find the place anywhere. I bookmark the site but I have so many items than I don't remember.

I was saving some money to buy the Ball Joints and bushings (good so far) the rear bumper and trim. and maybe a >>lowering kit.
BTW:
After I saw today a GS with 20" wheels... oh WOW was so beautiful.. It let my mouth fully open. The space between wheels and fender was so close I'm sure I don't need a lowering kit any more.

Returning to my main issue: Need to know a web site I can order the Ball joint at a reasonable price before it fall apart.
Thanks all a lot
A special favor: If any of you find the place, pleaase send a a PM. Sometimes I can't find out my thread. hmelite@yahoo.com

Why do people think getting bigger wheels will get rid of their wheel gap? You won't get rid of wheel gap without lowering your car.

I need to check out my ball joints too.

I just picked up a set from Sewell Lexus today. They're local to me...about 20-25minutes away. I paid about $120 including tax. I'm sure you can get it for approx the same price if you ordered out of state and shipping but no tax. You need to use the ClubLexus discount code on their website to get the special pricing.

The upper one is the whole upper A-Arm and is MUCH more expensive to replace. The upper arm has a balljoint in it so yeah I guess you could call you that the upper balljoint.
