Default koni suspension how many miles are too many?

I am looking at getting a set off of a friend really cheap. includes the h&r springs.

would this be better than just buying springs with my stock shocks. So what do you think

is 50,000 miles too many?

thanks

Depends on HOW cheap? I paid $450 for my Koni Yellows with H&R Sports, with 8,000 miles.

thanks,

so do you think that this is just too many miles to enjoy.

I figure that my car now has over 100,000 miles with the stock suspension and is still comforitable, so if these have half that ,then does that mean they will feel like a brand new car at 50,000 (not brand new but close )?

They should be fine. If not, PM CRX Lee, he works for Koni. I believe he can rebuild each shock for $40? Don't quote me on that please, I'm just trying to remember the best I can.

But PM CRX Lee if you have any issues.

should i worry about the wear on the springs or just the shocks/struts?

he says they are still in good condition.

how many more miles will i be able to get out of these do you think?

Koni's do come with a lifetime warranty, but only for the original purchaser. If there are any issues with the shocks have your bud get them taken care of under warranty now. $200 for springs and shocks would be a fine price.
