    Default sw20 suspension help

    Ok so the front right strut has gone on my brothers sw20. Its a hks unit. I need a replacement fast as he is going away by the end of the week. Does anybody have contact details for a hks dealer in tas/aus? I dont fancy my chances of picking up a second hand one up from an importers at short notice. The other option is a trd replacement as I can order a pair of trd shocks from the local toyota dealership. My question is will the trd shocks perform ok with the hks lowered springs? I dont know how low they are. here are the part numbers from the trd catalogue for front shocks. 48511-SW293 and 48511-SW210. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
    cheers jason

    JDS Auto Imports in Hobart can get HKS stuff, but it would have to be ordered. We also have second hand struts.

    JDS can also order the TRD shocks.
    48511-SW293 are the regular TRD replacement shocks.
    48511-SW210 are the adjustable TRD shocks which cost more obviously.

    As for performance, it depends how stiff the springs are. The adjustable TRD shocks will be fine for almost any springs.

    alright well it seems that if you want anything hks or trd you will be waiting about a month while they are sourced from japan. So i went to bursons kybs here the next day. They dont make agx for sw20s but the gr2s they sent work fine with the lowered springs(and have lifetime warranty). kyb gr2s $130 each versus trd non adjustable $200 each and a month later. I am happy
