Brad my son checked for me last fall. I don't know what a full set costs
as they did not have the right ones I needed. I would have gotten an
employee discount because my son worked for them. My son no longer works
for them. Call up your local Mopar dealer and ask for a set for an 88
Eagle.. Grab them while they are still available.
