Good price, but they probably need a rebuild. Rebuild costs around $150 a corner. Springs also might be a little saggy. I changed mine to swift coilover springs and dropped the spring rate 2kg front and rear on my hks hipermax pros.

At 30k it would be wise to rebuild them. Even if they are not blown or leaking. You don't want to install them and have to end up removing them soon after.

Coilovers are wear items. Over time they will leak oil and not function as they should. You can test the shock by removing the top hat and push the rod down. if it does not return back or fluid leaks out, then it needs to be rebuilt. If they have 30K on them thats almost 2 years use. So I would guess at least 1 shock needs to be rebuilt. If you need something that is plug and play I would buy hipermax III new.

Don't buy used suspensions that are more than 10k, problems tend to come around that age.
