They look pretty used and in poor shape. I would definitely check the condition and see if they are leaking.

Or spend a few hundred more and get some new coilovers with a warranty but thats just my opinion.

for a good coilover he would have to spend atleast double that.

500 is about the price for a good new set of shocks and springs

I wouldn't buy them..HA's were taken off the market because they have the tendency to rust over time...Always a good idea to save up and buy a new set..

I rode on the new CST on my friends supra, they feel comfortable yet sporty..Very nice coils IMO...You might want to consider that route..
