I bought my LP Series megans from a dealer on ebay no issues and got them for 750 brand new. Never had an issues either with them and still have them sitting on the old LS though it's dead to the world right now.

Take my advice and avoid buying used coilovers.

You don't want to spend the money or effort to install them only to find out that they are making noise or aren't damping like they are supposed to.

There's a lot of guys out there that improperly set preload or simply slam the car to the floor and ride on their bump stop damaging the damper.

Like I said, unless you know the history of the car, don't buy used shocks/struts. You've been warned.

As they said above. Spend the extra bit and buy them new. For example, when I had my old S14, I purchased a set of used Kei Office coilovers. Although they were fine for about 3-4 months, eventually they went out and started making noises and bottoming out. Just food for thought.
