In this very rare particular instance, I'm going to say ring around those stores you've got, and get prices. Alot of the larger chains are on 'no freight' policies with various suppliers, so although their product prices might be ridiculous, the freight in this case might save them.
For me to send a strut brace to you is going to cost $60 alone in freight (I'm assuming you're talking about Albany, WA).
Whiteline have two versions, a mid mount, and rear mount. The rear mount doesn't rub on the bonnet underlining, but the mid mount works better as it doesn't bend. Either will work, and RRP on the two of them is $209 and $199 respectively. My prices would be $187 and $178... but freight is obivously the killer.
Second option is the Pedders strut brace, which is basically the same as the Whiteline rear mount one. I could do that to you for $230 shipped.
Your saving grace might be however, to try Battery World in Albany who are a Pedders agent. The RRP on the Pedders bar is $200, so if they're on a no freight deal you might be ahead, or if they're charging freight, then maybe not... try them, the part number is 4629.
Hope that helps...
