Car is in at peddars and they have tried every possible path to get me some shocks, unfortunately they have come back with nothing.
 
I am after a Rear RH toe Arm that looks like this (Not bent...)
 
 
I have the shocks/inserts for the rear of the car but the rear left has been sealed so i need a new Strut/housing for it that is not sealed.
 
And finally, i need two front shocks and struts, in working order.
 
If this is to hard to chase after should i just get this kit here, and will they fit?

If you want to save some $$$, could go for these.  I have these fitted to one of my Mr2, great produce with low price.

They look extremely tempting.
 
Do they allow adjustment for 30mm lowered springs?

Ah... that sucks mate.  As you state, you have an import sdub, in that case it should have sealed struts/shocks, meaning they would more likely be 'Bilstein' which are seam welded (hence you cannot install new shocker inserts). 
Do you require just shocker inserts or complete struts?
You can easily tell - just look for a large flange nut where shocker rod goes into strut body. Will be either a Nut or seam welded.

I need two front complete struts as they are sealed. My rear right is open but rear left is sealed previous owner did botch job :)
 
so imo a kit would be my best option.
but where :(

IMO - I would try source a second hand set of ADM struts (there are not the sealed type).  If shocks are no good, can simply install new shock inserts. There are quite a few different brands available, then effectively you have new struts.

My other question is did they ever change the mounting system for the front struts on sw20's? 
or they always the same?
 
As a last resort do you reckon these will be worth the money or even fit?
