Default BG Full Coilover for 2nd Gen GS300/GS400/GS430

I purchased these not too long ago to lower the car for the JM Mega meet.
They ride like stock and can lower the car very low.
They are practically new, only scratches are from adjusting the ride height.
Below are a few pics of the suspension and the car with the suspension installed. I am gonna spring for the air-runner now. I think the car deserves it
I'm asking $700+shipping.

They dont get bouncy at all, they ride smooth even as low as my car is.
I'm not sure what the spring rates are.
Here's the autocarparts information (including the $1400 price tag).

I purchased these shocks for a friend of mine from this seller, and today we tried to get them installed. I say tried because these DO NOT WORK. When we lowered the car down from the lift the front of the car was sitting slammed on the ground no matter how much we adjust the perches it does not raise up. I called BG Suspension and they stated that these shock were never supposed to be sold the public as they have a design flaw. Their design flaw is that the front springs do not hold the weight of the car. I have tried to contact BlackGS3 and I got thru to him told him of the problem and he told me that he would get back to me. Now I am trying to get thru to him to no avail. I am out $400 for installation and removal cause my friend could not drive the vehicle the wheel would not turn.

Please get back to me so that we can resolve this issue.

Paid thru paypal filed a dispute to get the seller to respond and if he doesn't I'll escalate to a claim.
