Was I hozed in the classifieds ..?

You might have to take one on the chin and move on. This sounds like a difference of terminology resulting in a communication breakdown. I agree with the others, a (set) would constitute- 4 and a pair- 2. Others might say there`s a set for the front and one for the back. IDK? Anyway, Summit Racing sells a pair in the $40.00 range. Perhaps you can buy another pair (set) and be done with it. Lesson learned.
