Default EK9 shocks worth it?

Someone is selling some ek9 shocks/springs for 299, I was wondering if it was worth it?

Right now I have skunk2 coilovers on my car, but they are blown. Was thinking about koni yellow+gc, but I kind of want to save money should I go with the ek9 shocks?

Minimum 15 year old dampers with an unknown history? No way. Unless they're bnib, I say put the money toward a set of Konis or 'Steins.

You can get a set for 200+tax/shipping from Hmotorsonline.com

I took the gamble and got them for my civic. It definitely rides better than stock, but you can feel the dampers are 'old', they're a bit soft...but they definitely still feel stiffer than stock civic suspension.

If you're needing something to get rid of lowered blown dampers on the cheap it is a decent option, aside from just getting somebody else's stock suspension, which you'd likely spend $100 for anyways.

Mine came out to $248 shipped and was here within a week.
