Raybestos Springs and Shocks?

I need new shocks and springs on my 83ZX. I have had very little luck finding springs that fit this car. Tokico, KYB, and ST have been the units that most people have recommended but they seem to be in very short supply. I actually ordered some KYB shocks and ST springs and have been waiting a month already for them. JC Whitney has some shocks and springs made by Raybestos that are supposed to fit. Anyone know about the quality of these? Are they any good or should I just wait and keep hoping to find the other brands?

Talk to John at Betamotorsports.com He'll hook you up with a set of HPK255's

Thanks, I talked to Betamotorsports this morning. They didn't have the Tokico's but I believe I've found some KYBs. He did suggest that my springs probably don't need to be replaced. This is something someone on the forum has also mentioned before. I was going to replace them just because they're so old, but I think now I'm going to just try the shocks first and see where that leaves me.
