Used Coilovers...Bad Idea?

[rico05]

JIC coilovers (no clue what series). Bad idea to buy used? Look kinda worn, but clean. They are online, so I can't look at them in person, but I have a link to 8 pics of them. http://f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/...iew=tAny opnions welcome!

I wouldn't do it - you never know how hard they've been driven.

Thats what I was afraid of.

are they rebuildable? if they are....heck I would...

[rico05]

Well, they are gonna cost like $550, plus at least $160 shipped from Hong Kong. For that I can get Tein Basic Dampers. New.

they do not look like what jic makes at the moment, the colors and look is different, so they are probably fairly old. tho their new products are supposed to be faid resistant. http://www.jic-magic.com is their site, what they sell now is rebuildable, and they sell all of the pieces to their coilovers seperatly, so maybe they would have something for those. do the tein's you are looking at have adjustable dampers? these do not look like they are adjustable, tho they do have a front camber plate/upper mount.

[yeswepromise]

DO NOT BUY THEM.

[rico05]

Just curious...why?

[crzycav86]

Those coilovers are currently on ebay

[yeswepromise]

they look like crap.rule of thumb - never buy used coilovers.

I bought used coilovers and i couldnt be happier, but the difference is that it was someone who lived around me so i could see them and hold them. I wouldnt trust someone who lived so far away with so much money.
