Question Best Place to buy L-tuned Suspension?

Can anyone point me toward the best and least expensive place to buy L-tuned springs and shocks? I've heard about Carson Toyota.

Thanks for any info.

Steve at Carson Toyota does have the best prices. However, you may some $$$ off shipping if you can find a place local that will "match" it. I know you may have to pay tax but if you calculate it out, you may make out a bit better.

I agree that buying from Steve is easy and priced right. However, consider that L-tuned may not be the shocks to buy. I just had installed, at Lexus of Wayzata, bilstein sport shocks. Love them. Big improvement. Will have TRD sways when Steve can get some from Japan. Think my suspension will be what it should be at that point.
The bilsteins are about twice as expensive. If you are going to install them yourself or not, do you want to go to the trouble or expense, only to have them get soft in 20 or 30 thousand miles? The bilsteins, by reputation and there own statement, will last the life of the car. If you paint a room and have to do it over in a couple of years, the $10 a gallon you saved the first time will seem like false economy.
Also, For me the springs are an appearance item. When I go on long drives. I want the comfort of the stock springs, properly damped. The combination I and other have gives great handling and great comfort.
