what should you look for when you buy used suspensions and is there any way to tell if the shocks are blown or what not?

Check for any leaks, also if you have the shocks by themselves then you can compress them and see how long it takes for them to pop up, check to see if you can hear any bubbling noises when they are compressed.

full body coilovers or just the springs?

if its just the springs, just check out what rate they have printed on them and if they aren't extremely rusted or dirty buy them
