ok.... thats weird bursons called me back (after the guy working there didnt understand what a strut brace or a fto was) and said that they can do it for $220 but its like the last 1 at whiteline and thats including freight. so im going with them. i guess the other businesses would have their own stock though still

got a whiteline for $220 and it weighs 1.57kg so i aint worried lol, seems to have stiffer handling and the tyres dont seem to roll in as much but to notice a difference u gotta go pretty fast. it dosent keep my from getting air but when it comes down you can tell its doing its job haha.
