Lexus and Toyota parts come from the same place. When they have the same part number, they have the same MSRP price (in North America). Of course dealers are free to set their own pricing, and local Lexus dealers may sell parts for more money I guess.

I'd actually be most interested in what Subaru sells the diff for. Anyone have the Subaru part number for the LSD and complete pumpkin on a BRZ?
