Default Front Struts; Why Does the Left Side Cost More Than The Right?

Can't figure it out, I searched and searched but got no answer.

I ordered a set of Tokico Blues, and the left side front strut on every site is about $20 more ! What's up with that ?

The left side strut has to be stronger to compensate for the drivers weight. They use beefier pistons.

There has to be a reason though, the only thing I can think of is that they can advertise that struts for my car start at $70, but that's the price for the right side, and they kow you have to buy in pairs, so they jack you for the left side.

Real men stop cars by opening the door and putting a foot on the ground.
