well i'm thinking of picking up some used kts coilovers for 650 tommarow . maybe try 600 since they are a year old have around 10,000 miles or so on them. Good or no good?

Good. Worst case, you pay $550 to SPL and get a brand new set of KTS coilovers, but you should check with SPL if that can be done. This is what's on their website.

"Shocks need servicing? Replace with all new shocks for $550. For the price of rebuilding other shocks (Tein, JIC, etc) you can simply swap in new shocks with no downtime and no shipping hassles.

Brackets for to fit Z32 rear spindle can be specified at time of order, or available separately for $95/set.

Please note: Replacement shocks, brackets, any other service parts, as well as warranty, are available only to coilovers purchased from us. We do not service coilovers from other manufacturers, or those that were purchased direct or from other shops."

so i just pay 550 to spl if i need a rebuild? so i'm basically paying for the normal price of 1,045 plus shipping if they are worn out. I should go lower the guy said they're not leaking and he drifted with them so he has "used" them alot. I might go lower or just buy brand new ones. maybe 550 or 500. I gotta look at them tommarow. He told they were dirty and his car was stored inside a garage for awhile.

I have these coilovers on my s13, for the price I'd say they're decent. they're stiff, never had any problems drifting with them. my only complaint is they dont have enough height adjustment. i have them on the lowest setting and my car is still not low enough for my tastes

i have mdu coils too.

another one of my complaints is the ride is way to rough. even for coils.

but i havent had any problems with them, no leaks or anything.they probably have about 6000 miles on them
