LF: 1990 SW20 Suspension

Open to basically anything, let me know what you have and what price you're after. Car currently has stock struts that are buggered with lowered springs. I'll end up just buying replacement shocks through amayamay if I can't find anything fwiw.

    Hi
    Have a set off Cusco coil_over shocks only removed off the car yesyerday. Replaced with BCs only because I got as an up grade.
    I had the same issues as you trying to find replacement shocks for my 91 sw20. These cuscos have been a nice replacement and not too harsh. There is nothing really for the 89-93 sw to replace OEM except the Konis which are about $300 a corner.
    Chasing $500 pick up.

    The problem is stock replacement shocks probably won't last long with your lowered springs.
    That may be what has already happened.
    To get inserts that will last, you would probably need Koni's with your lowered springs.

    I've got Bilstein 94 std suspension from a JDM hardtop.  You can have it for free if you come and pick up in Rosanna (or Deer Park).  (I just want it gone and will not wrap/post).  Suspension had done 200K and was still acceptable.

    Just had a look and only see the ones from out of the country or $1000+ a pair, so I think I mighta missed them - At that price I'm probably better off moving to coilovers. Ah well.
     
    I live in WA and am happy to pay what it costs to get anything over to here from people over east but understandably it's a pretty high effort task to box them up etc for postage.
