Default Struts and springs problem! Please help

Hey guys, the struts on my is300 are completely gone, and the springs have been cut shorter. The ride is unbearable, the slightest bump and and car scrapes, or makes a loud thump, or sometimes scrape, and the whole car feels really bouncy like an old Oldsmobile... Now the problem I'm having is I can't find struts ANYWHERE! And I don't want to have to resort to the dealership. I'm willing to do a full switch to a coilovers setup, but I can't find a reliable website with reasonable pricing (not eBay)
Any input would e appreciated

Check the vendor section here on Club Lexus. There are several vendors that sell the Megan EZ Street Coilovers for under $700.00 shipped. Otherwise you can get a set of KYB struts and Ksport lowering springs for under $500.00

Yeah as AZTurbo said check the vendor section for deals.

A few websites which are reputable (referencing another is site)
TH Motorsports
Dezod Motorsports
FIGs Engineering
Token Solutions

Those vendors provide a wide variety from Coil Overs to basic spring/shock or strut combos. I personally run Eibach prokit springs and sway bars with Tokico HTS adjustable shock/struts with factory alignment. The spring and sway bars setup would be slimilar to a Sport Design IS300.

What they said basically. I would go with coilovers if I were you but thats just my opinion. Do you want the ride height pretty low, close to factory, or factory?
