You minus well flip a coin because its hard to tell by looking. I have bought used coilovers in the past and there was nothing wrong with them. You can get the Kei office coilovers rebuilt but it will be hard to get them there and will probably be awhile until you get them back. The type TDII's ride pretty decent. Make the wise decision.
