Default Tein Flex

I found a slightly used set of Tein Flex's. Claims to only have 6000 miles on them. Ive never bought coilovers before. These would be going on my daily driver. Hes asking $1000 for them. Does this sound like a reasonable price?

It's reasonable. I have tein flex's on my car and I hate them. going to get rid of them as soon as possible for springs/shocks combo. If you don't need coilovers, don't get them.

CS are way out of budget.

Well, Im really just looking for height adjustability more than anything............ So, the flex's are too stiff even on the softest setting?

Any suggestions on what I else should look into, besides air? I thought about using some sleeve type coilovers (like ground control), and shocks. But, Im afraid with the ride height Im going for, the shocks wont have enough travel.

Are roads are messed up here, so I need something with a decent ride that wont tear my car apart. I DID have oem supra tt shocks with eibachs, and I was satisfied with the ride, but now I need a bit lower.
