Most expensive spheres ever?

OK. They are for a Toyota Land Cruiser. But really - that expensive!

Now who has the complete list of cars that use Citroen 'like' suspension units and I wonder if they have to pay royalties?

Cheers

He seems to be asking dealer level prices - maybe peanuts to owners who can afford Land Cruiser and Lexus vehicles. Typical Citroen price for a C5 II saucer type suspension sphere however is around £136 meaning that most people would look for and buy the cheaper pattern equivalent or investigate re-charging using the Valprex kit.

Pleiades were also doing 'Cruiser sphere conversion necks.
It's big, it's French, it's blue with beige leather and leaks green fluid...
