Default HKS discontinued all coilovers for 2GS?!?!

So I dropped off the cash for my HKS Hipermax LS+ at my local shop and received a call today saying that all the HKS Coilovers are discontinued for the 2GS, Hipermax LS/LS+/RS/CLX...

They said they tried all three of their major suppliers and got the same story from everyone.

Any confirmations of this?

Geeze! These were the only coilovers I would buy. Now where do I turn to? There aren't that many HKS on the used market.

Hmmm... what would be some other brands to look at for a good quality coilover in that area? All I can find is JIC's so far, Tein would be a definite step down from what I have read.
