RA28 Suspension

Whats up,
I was wondering what types of suspension components and brands are available in OZ fo rthe RA28. I am in the states and there is next to nothing out here for the RA28/9. Lucky if you could get some old TRD stuff or new TRD imported (Expensive) springs etc., I actually had to import a rear sway bar from Whiteline and SuperPro bushings for my four links+front control arms and strut rods. I also use a panhard rod from Whiteline, but some ae86 RCAs and rear shocks are on their way from southern California.
But I have heard of king springs, and such, are these like dobinsons springs? Speaking of dobinson, does anyone know the spring rate of their rear springs for solid axle celicas (the progressive type)? I plan on using those too.
Thanks for sharing,

Hey mate,
i have 1&half" low king springs all round, KYB Red shocks, whiteline/selby front 24.5 mm bar, whiteline/selby 18mm rear bar.. I replaced all the bushings in the front end and rear with Noltec items. They are an australian company(i think) who stock nolathane/urethane bushings for many toyotas, including ra28s.
Im not sure of the spring rate of the heavy duty king springs. quite firm ride tho.
I plan to get my panhard rod made adjustable by some mates at an engineering shop, that is something that still needs doing when i have the money/time.
Later down the track if i ever do an engine swap with more power i might go custom coilovers on the front, with corona strut/pug. caliper/hilux 4-spot brake conversion too at the same time.
good luck with finding the gear youre after
