WTB: st162 suspension n rear discs

just sending a note out in case anyone has any spare or anything:
Im after lowered (king) springs and new shocks. I understand some people buy the springs, then prefer superlows and have their old springs spare. I would be interested in these for sure. The shocks i got atm are starting to leak a little.. could really do with replacing.. handling is a bitch >_< Pretty much new only for these, if anyone has any?
and the stock rear discs/caliper setup. I have drums and i refuse to put rims on before i put discs on the rear as i believe it looks really pathetic wen u can see ugly drums behind nice rims.  So if anyone has the stock rear disc brake setup, i'd lurvvee it 
This is all a bit of a long shot, so if nothing comes up i won't be surprised. but hey, Thanks anyway!

Hey man just so you know, the ST model ST162's (with rear drums) have a 4 bolt stud pattern (4x100) and the SX models with rear discs have a 5 bolt pattern. So if you fit rear discs from an SX to your car you will have 5 bolt hubs at the rear and 4 bolt ones at the front. So you will need to change the front brakes over as well to match.
Sawpping the hubs and discs from an SX to an ST is possible, guys on celicatech.com (in the US) have done it.

yea matt... that's an unfortunate byproduct.. especially considering a lot of nice rims come in 4 stud but not 5 stud... but it must be done!
