Anybody with price info please post where so it can be updated

Also, to the OP we differed with the Tanabe GF210, I ended up going to Tanabe's website and found the same 4.5/5.5, just wondering where your info came from. I don't want to be giving out the wrong info.

This will continue to be updated....
