Never rode in a car with cs' installed, you should do a review.

They look to be in very good condition. But you could have gotten a couple different brands brand new for $200 less shipped.

Well, Im somewhat **** about quality parts; Sparco, TEIN, RAYS Engineering ... Things I can trust.
I could have gotten something new, but I really wanted the CS because they're meant as a medium, for Luxury, and Performance. I don't track my car, but I do enjoy a spirited drive on occasion along the highway & certain roads.
At the same time, I'd also prefer an aggressive stance to enhance the aesthetic, as well as EDFC-compatibility.
For the sort of driving I do, coilover suspension is a world of improvement to begin with; so I wanted a coilover system that provided the least amount of "discomfort", with the adjustability & functions of a sport-suspension. The CS were the whole package. When I heard they were discontinued, I took value into consideration; in other words, rare parts are appealing ...

Truthfully, I didn't want to pay that much; yet a discontinued item thats practically brand new, and in fact what I'm currently looking for, is indeed the needle in the haystack.
After the other CS's I found on eBay and Craigslist however, missing hats, or simply dirty, it was a done deal.
I chose to starve 'til payday.
