Racing Beat has one set of illuminas in stock, and to be expected, they're bloody expensive. Perhaps about 800+ bucks (+shipping) for a full set, and that's not including their springs, which would put your total above 1000 bucks, which could be better spent on coilovers.
So, I wondered if I could find a better deal elsewhere. I looked around on Amazon first, and found some disturbingly cheap prices directly from Tokico themselves. They're valued at 120 bucks per front strut, and the rear strut is valued at 87 bucks. And no, my phrasing for that last sentence wasn't a typo; there is no rear right strut available anywhere!
What gives? Any idea on why no rear right strut exists nor is up for sale?

Seriously...if that rear right strut was available, we're talking a full set of Illuminas for under 450 bucks, and the racing beat springs included for a sub-700 bucks handling package.
