Used coilovers are tricky. Id be careful. You can buy a new set fpr around $800. I bought some used ones thinking it was a good idea and they blew out. So I wasted $400

Default coilovers or replacement shocks for hi mileage SC?

At 155K miles, I'm overdue to replace the shocks and likely the remainder of the suspension too. Many in this forum recommend coilovers . . . I've seen several different brands mentioned (Tein, Megan, K-Sport, etc) I really want better handling and a better ride, but am reluctant to invest too much into a 9 year old SC with high mileage. Any suggestions as to the most cost effective coilover brand or would it make more sense just to buy replacement KYB shocks for $88 each? Thanks for your advice.
