I would say they are robbing you , but , nobody works for free , you elected not to get dirty so it will cost you , as far as a kit for $180 , there are no more parts in the market for the s4 , you are probably paying for research time , cork gasket sheets at auto part can't be that expensive ...

Hi Gtobud , if you go to the first post in page one , look at the 3rd picture , over and under the piston there are 2 springs , about 6-8 inches long ,5/8 inch big , mine as lost one , and I also have to help it go down , would not be hard to find a screen door spring, that can do the job...
