What's the original msrp on those? They don't look like they are worth $750 at the condition they are in, but I'm not a good judge by just looking at 1 picture. Maybe someone with more experience will show up in a few.

sorry but those look used for a very long time. i would not trust buying used coilovers. what if they are blown. spend a little extra get something in better condition

buy these instead.

i rather get megan streets for like 150$ more. i don't care if they're 2000$ coils, but those look like it's been thru hell... and i bet it's cleaned up as best as possible.

before the megan haters come in, i think you are better off spending a little more on megans. i had them on my car i liked them.

DO NOT buy megans please, you will do yourself a huge favor. They're garbage just get those yashio factory ones most likely you will never regret that purchase.

I wouldn't waste 700 on these. just save up and get a brand new set. for all you know the seller was lying. don't be a fool.

Exactly. My Stance coilovers that I've had on for over 2 years and even driven across the country with still looks better than those.

I believe the seller got them used and once he got his car running only did 3 drag passes with them. No one would be foolish enough to think those only saw a few hundred miles. I know plenty of ppl with Megan streets and Tracks no complaints. Early Streets had valving issues so if you buy used only get tracks to be safe. otherwise buy streets or tracks new =) Tracks are just stiffer, fyi.

ppl are going to hate on Megan anything for the most part, coils should be an investment only made once in a cars life (unless serious track will be occuring then obiously SH*T happens) so buying higher quality is recommended but who doesn't understand the urge to buy parts that are more easily affordable instead of saving for twice aslong.

Not a fan of Tein... I like preload.... Save up Stance is good, Endura tech is better, BC is the great
