I got 'em from Riverside Infiniti, they were about $107 shipped from what I can remember.

Amazing Vid & More info....!

I just installed my dampers using your video and there's two things you might
run into not covered by the vid. It's a real good idea to sand down the *****
and fit them prior to installing especially the ones that bolt into the fender area....very tight fit. The battery covers or cover if you only have one need
to be notched just so everything fits correctly. Thank God for Dremel tools!

Thanks for the insight.. One time I was installing these and actually the ***** wouldn't go into the joints. I ended-up discovering that some of the pins were out of place inside the actual ball joint cavity, so that's something you want to check for sure before resorting to sanding.
