Question take a look at these coilovers

take a look and tell me what you think, ive seen them go for quite a bit more than this, and im willing to dish out a lil more, if they are worth it, going on an 87 n/a not modded much, but in bad need of a new/upgraded suspension. just looking for some feedback.

Yea those seem nice. $200 shipping sucks because they'll probably go for about $800 plus that. They look nice to be used. If they fall in the price range you want they'll be perfect. The ride will be much harder.

Buying a used racing suspension is like going to a ***** house to look for a wife.

If you can get them for under about $800 delivered then even if they're blown and need to be rebuilt then it'll be cheaper than buying new. New they go for about $1700, and to get them all rebuilt will be $700 plus shipping both ways, so figure a couple hundred there. So $800 for used coilovers, $200 for shipping, $700 for rebuilds and it's up to the $1700 it'd cost you new.

This is directly from the ad

"They have done 7000km.
The Spring rate is Front:7K Rear:5K.
Not a curve and No oil leaks"


Of course they've been ridden hard and put up wet. They're coilovers, thats what they're built for. Low mileage is what counts. Its like buying a low mileage race car, of course its been driven like hell, its a race car, but it does have low mileage

It says actual photos, but those are the same photos from the last ad.
The last ad ended with like maybe upto $800 plus they gotta ship from Japan.
They're not the actual pix. They probably look beat and have done more than those KM.



GoodLuck.

Remember- you get what you pay for. I would only purchase after careful inspection of the ACTUAL photos.
