PURCHASING SECOND HAND COILOVERS.. GOOD IDEA?

Post by The_Nasman »

hey guys, ive found a set of coilovers for £70, the seller doesn't know what brand they are and says other than the surface rust, they're in good condition

ive attached a picture of them so have a look and let me know if its a good idea to buy them

I've bought barely used coilovers before but that's when the price difference was £900 compared with £1400

When you can pickup a set of new FK's for £180-£190 I see very little benefit especially with the amount effort you will go to(or pay) to have them fitted. You don't even know what brand they are or how much life is left in them!
