Blown strut, need opinions Options

[PegGTS]

So my front passenger strut is blown from hitting a pothole a while ago, and I want some opinions on what to do. I want to lower it a little so these are my options:

Replace the struts for now with Koni's or KYB's then save up a bit for lowering springs or

Ride on the blown strut for now and save up for coilovers

I've narrowed it down to those two options and can't decide on which way to go. Keep in mind that I do winter drive this car and it will see some rough winters so I'm looking for the best option with that in mind. I do like the height adjustment with the coilovers so I can raise it for the winter, however I can't afford them at the moment after replacing my clutch and don't know how long I could ride on the one blown strut without damaging anything.

Any thoughts?

I was always under the impression that you had a GT-Four, just like me. I've been bamboozled.

Don't know what your budget is, but I've started searching around. Box says $700 for Megans (haven't looked into it),

BC's I've found for $1k all over the place, personally found this site for ST202 Super Struts:

Found this from an older thread for TRD lowering springs:

The only thing about these springs (if they end up being the only part I need to replace, I'll do all 4), is that the part # on the ebay picture springs themselves say 48231-ST100, which I've looked up and found that it was made for Coronas and Carinas (ST19#, ST21#, AT19#, AT21# (2WD model exclusive)) according to this page, so I'm not sure whether they'll "work" on my car"

Toyodiy.com says my car uses 48131-2T110, which Amayama says I can buy for $52 each.

I'm all at a compatibility issue conundrum here!

Apologies for the thread jack, I'll post my own findings for my ST205 once I get the ball running on my search/repairs.
