Default Best Price on Tokico D-specs?

Looking for the best deal on Tokico Adj D-specs. Best I've found is $529.00. Any suggestions on vendors that might be able to do better?

I feel it important to state that the lowest price isn't the only criteria on which you should consider a vendor. The idea tend to be that all D-specs are the same so why not buy the cheapest way. The reality is very few people have any idea how shock damping works, let alone can make good solid recommendations on settings. And that's not even getting into an explanation of how different settings effect the car. I feel that's important and so it's something I do for my folks, because they have a much easier time understanding what's going on, and how a change in damping will result.

fwiw

Lemme sum that up for ya. Basically, Mr. Strano here is an Autocross God, and maybe his set of D-Specs aren't the cheapest ( Which I dunno if they are or not, just saying ) BUT his customer service and knowledge of the product ( with first hand experience using them ) surpasses most, if not any of his competitors selling the same units. If you have any problem with the unit, he will know how to fix your problem. ( I don't profit in any way for saying this ) just thought I'd make it easier to understand

+1 on buying from Sam. I doubt you'll find more than a $10-20 difference in price anywhere, and even if Sam had the most expensive price (I don't know if that's the case one way or another), his advice would be worth the premium.

I bought mine from Brenspeed. They weren't the cheapest but, they deliveried fast (for free) and they are a well known, trust worthy company. You don't want to be giving $500 plus dollars to some fly-by-night company.
