Re: ebay suspension combo question good or not ? (eclypzex)
Those are ok I suppose - I would of course prefer to get Koni Yellows with the spring of my choice, which would run up to $600. The Koni RSK kit should be as strong or close to as strong as the Yellows, but the real separating factor is that they are not externally adjustable (in terms of damping). You will need to take the shock off of the car, push down on the shaft and turn it in order to adjust damping. For the extra money, it is worth it to me to be able to turn a **** to adjust damping. Time is money sometimes.
As with Koni Yellows, everytime you want to change the ride height, you would need to take the shock off the car and move the circlip, remount the perch, and put it back together. Some people have mastered doing this without taking the shock off, but it's still a pain.
I was able to get a complete set of Koni yellow adjustable coilovers (including H&R 60mm ID springs) and Koni sleeve perches for $425 total. The rear shocks and springs are used, but the front shocks and springs are brand new. Search around a bit and see if you can find some used Koni yellows, even new ones can be found for less than $500, get some springs (used or new) for $100-150.
If you don't care about being able to change damping on command, that's a nice setup though.

I wouldn't buy from that person alone, seeing that his feedback rating is 10 and just barley above 90%. I'm sure you can find a better set of suspension. You're taking a mighty big risk buying from soneone with that little feedback.

Re: (Calsonic)
Feedback isn't the only measure of good service. If you read that guys feedback, there is only 1 negative, and it was due to slow shipping - UPS 3 day. The other feedbacks are fine, and the seller has been an ebay member for awhile but doesn't sell a lot. So if you end up liking that shock combo, I wouldn't hesitate to purchase them if that's the best deal out there.
I have been an ebay member for 4-5 years and have only 20 feedbacks, just because I don't sell a lot.
