buying used suspension....worth it?
found a suspension setup on ebay consisting of KONI yellows and NEUSPEED sport springs.
only thing is they have been used for 40,000 miles.
starting bid is $50....but is it even worth it?
**edit** here's a pic:

if you plan to own the car for a long time.. get some new and nice suspension..
swapping suspension is a waste of time and money.. so do it right the first time

nay.. if it was an adjustable setup I might sway the other way, but when it's just springs and shocks you don't know how badly/if they sagged or anything.

Yah. Anytime you can save some cash go for it. Koni has really good warranty and if you can can a receipt from the original owner then your set. I recently had to do that with Tokico and they were EXCELLENT about the whole thing. I know it isn't relevant with Koni but I heard Koni is better than Tokico! Go for it. I always make sure the product is good though too. So if you can go look at them, buy them. Or make sure its a reputable seller. Draw up a contract with his/her info. Cheers!

Re: buying used suspension....worth it?
Thanks for all the responses guys! well...I don't really want to take the auction away from the other bidder(s)...so i'll just keep looking/saving for my setup.
The fact that koni had a lifetime warranty which could be used to get new ones did come across my mind tho....good info

Re: buying used suspension....worth it? (civic0)
I bought my suspension set up used. But it only had 5k on it and i got to check it out while it was in a car before i bought it. Also it was adjustible so i was able to see the different settings.
But damn 40k is alot for suspension... but then again 50 bucks you could rebuild and pay less then buying it new.
