Rear Brake Shoes(handbrake)

[fipsy]

I recently changed my rear discs and pads on my is200 but in doing so i managed to knacker up a spring on each side that holds the handbrake shoes in place. does anybody know if i can purchase these springs/washers/clips from anywhere else but a lexus dealer as they only do a complete kit including shoes for about £140. the shoes are fine its just a spring and a washer/clip. i had to back off the handbrake as the rubbing noise was driving me mad. its still not a pretty sound but so much better than before... oh the handbrake is still working so its not an MOT failure and is still legal, just noisy!!
