Can't find KYB front shocks

As the title says, all i can find is KYB excel-g rear shocks not fronts.
Getting some rears from pedders for $211, and rpw were $186 so not much difference, plus ill have them tomorrow. RPW seem to be very slow in processing my order.
Fronts however are a different question, RPW once again taking ages and now i cant be bothered to use them, Bursons who deal with KYB can't find the part number. KYB dont stock them in Australia.
Anyone know where i can get some from Vic? Or are they the same as Lancer CC ones?!?!

They're the same as a Volvo..
Front L: 334154
Front R: 334155
Have a search here on KYB. We've sourced them from everywhere... and at good prices too.

Bursons don't get front FTO shocks in, but can get volvo s40 ones at $214.30 a pop. Rears were $134 each.
Got some rears already coming from pedders who did me an amazing price. Paid $219 for both, but can't get FTO from them either, and can't get kyb volvo ones, only bilstein at $266 each.
RPW are the only ones i can find who can get me both and not cost the earth, but they are in Perth and i need these by the weekend to change all my shocks and springs together.
Do i just bite the bullet and pay $428 for the fronts?

So you've got 2x rear ones already from Pedders, just need 2 front ones?
What I actually did was I went to this smaller Mom and Pop type auto store just off Blackburn road (Sorry forgot the name... It's opposite the Fitness First Gym at Syndal).
Really nice/honest bloke and he said they deal directly with the KYB distributor and could get all 4 shocks for me for $440ish. Only thing was they take a couple of days which I didn't have, so I just went to Burson's and they tried to price match it (Got it down to $480ish for all 4).
I went to the Burson's just off Wellington Road near Monash Uni, quoted the same numbers Ben mentioned. They didn't have them in stock straight away but being such a big trade supplier they called me back in a couple of hours once they had the stock in (the same day).
Basically... it shouldn't be $428 for just the front 2 shocks. Just get them to price match or if you can wait a couple of days go the first store off Blackburn Road I mentioned (cheap prices and good service)

Got my front shocks from carbitz on Blackburn road, he also sells rotors for 190 a pair, slotted and ebb green stuff pads for 170 for four. Which is some damn good prices.
Quick one though, where can I get new bump stops from?

Including shipping for around than A$70, and i never have any problems with camskill from my past 6-7 transactions. Unless you need the stocks immediately, otherwise i don't understand why you find sca is giving you a more attractive offer.
Oh Kabaya makes them and yes president, same manufacturers as the KYB struts.
