who wants Bilstein HDs

[TM]

I'm confused by all of this-

When I called up The Parts Connection as well as a couple other places,
I was told that
the upper strut bearings were dealer-only and something like $300 each.
My mechanic
confirmed the same.

Are you all running G60 struts or what?

Apparently, the UFO 200q20v uses a unique upper strut mount that costs
exponentially
more than the other type 44s.

If this is _not_ the case, any ideas on why I was told this? Obviously,
a parts seller
would want to make the sale if he/she could, right? I don't see why they
would not sell
me the part if they had it. Where are you all getting these parts for
that little?
