Default Think front 'strut' gone, help with diagnosis

Hi,

JDM STi7, 85,000kms:

When I am driving even at slower speeds (50 kmh) and I hit a small bump with on the left side of the car it feels as though the front left side of the car bottoms out and I hear a loud knock almost like the shock piston goes all the way in and suspension 'hits' it's maximum travel. I have had it on a rack with mechanic and everything looks fine so he says the strut needs to be replaced. When just pushing down on left and right side of front of car they both feel the same but I guess that is nothing compared to the pressure produced from 1400 Kilos when moving..........any idea where I can get the OEM strut from and rough cost ?

Thanks for help
