Default Questions on used Megan EZ Street Coilovers

So lately I've been looking around to buy some coil overs and my friend happens to still have his old Megan EZ streets from his GS. What I'm concerned about is the fact that he had em on his car for about 3 years with about 50k miles, even though he said none of them are blown or leaking I'm just worried that they'll give out soon. He's asking 350$ for the whole set, so that has me thinking it's a good deal since I'm on a budget. I just want other peoples opinions on the coil overs and if I should just drop 700$ for a brand new set and call it a day. I added a pic my friend sent me of the Megans and I'm going to check em out in person this week, so just give me your guys feedback thank you

Thats a good deal. And if you worried you can buy the shock cartridges for i think $75 and have a relatively new set of coilovers for $650 total. (300 for 4 new shock cartridge+ 350 for asking price). If it was me, I would just replace them as necessary

50K miles is to the point where most coilovers would need to be rebuilt. You can do what NYKnick101 said but for an extra $50 (or less depending on where you purchase them), I'd just buy new coilovers with 0 miles and have that peace of mind.
