define "decent" cause you could probably get something like that for that price, but not "decent" or new

for suspension, it's worth the extra money to buy brand new (also for the peace of mind).

trust me...i've heard horror stories online, from my friends, and from own personal experience buying used suspension parts. don't cut corners on something that important to your car and just save around another 300-400 to add to that 600. down the road you'll be glad you did.

the only one i can think of close to that is the skunk 2 ones and they aren't that good.

Is your heart set on an adjustable suspension? Aftermarket lowering springs and good shocks would be much cheaper. (And still ride well)

i'm pretty sure they have a full setup as well...their "sleeve" coils are going to be around 200, their full suspension setup will run about 600 to 700 dollars. but then again, ive heard that theyre bouncy and will not last very long.

used coilovers shouldnt be too bad of an idea for your setup. I would much rather spend $800 on a used Tein SS than $800 on some Ksports anyday
