25% delta is way low for car parts.
I just pulled up walk-in retail at Advance Auto for a single loaded front strut on a 2012 Odyssey. $250. Rock Auto $150. 40% cheaper same part number.
Lets say you buy the strut online and something is wrong. You fat fingered something, you got the left rather than the right, oil is seeping from the strut or it's not functional otherwise.
Now what? Online is beautiful until it sucks.
That said, the Sikkens guy should have shaved a few bucks off. You know their cost is $30-ish and that is probably fat.
