how used are we talkin? i was stuck in the same dilema not to long ago, ha, i went the used route,
when it comes to car parts its a tough one, I mean its something your gonna wanna keep for a while..... and not have any regrets...
Basicly go with what you feel bro!

looks can be deceiving, for instance in the new issue of super street there is an article oh ohlines coilovers and how good they looked on the outside but needed to be completely rebuilt. personally id spend what i can afford on a new product

its Ohlins btw.....man i'll tell u what i rode my buddies ducati that has factory ohlins forks and rear springs. i loved it, so i went and bought a Ohlins rear shock for motorcycle....loved them too.so i went and bought custom ohlins coilovers for my civic hatch after that OMFG they were worth every penny. sorry just my personal rant bout ohlins for a second

upstate is FAIRLY accurate in his statement buy what you can afford....BUT if your gonna buy a junky product or a inferior coilover just save your $ a few extra months and buy the better one IMHO

I''d recommnend NEW BCR coilovers, less money and the same performance as the others.
