Thanks!

just to add to the others,
When I did mine like 4-5 years ago, I got it on ebay and just searched for a very highly reviewed seller, with top credentials, and that toyota OEM kit was for sure not the cheapest but a good price. I obviously don't even remember who it was.
When the kit arrived, it was as on the seller'S description, all toyota OEM parts, and that kit is installed and now near the end of it's recommended maintenance of 100K miles end of life, no problem. Will do the same this winter/spring when I replace it again.
