These are late 90s early 2000s coilover offered in Japan only.
Similar as how Bilstein in Germany carries shocks for 240s and Bistein Australia offered coilovers for the s-chassis, they were market specific models.
Because they aren't officially serviceable here due to market or age doesn't mean that it can't be done.
As has been suggested Performance Shock is the best bet; that's who I was going to go through on the s13 set I owned years ago.

As the performance/quality of the shock they were very well regarded at the time.
Doesn't mean they're crap now or that there aren't better options available.
It all comes down to resources/money.
How cheap were they? Can they be rebuilt? How much?
If you're happy with the answer to those questions then go for it, you'll end up with suspension that is comparable to a decent Koni set up.

Personally I would just save up money and piece together a Koni or Bilstein set up of wait to pounce of a quality used set up.
