HR's? Or does that just sound too risky?

Default I sold my Stasis streetsports with 60k on them for $300.
All depends on the condition. You don't want one from someone who lives in a harsh winter environment where road salts are used.

Default i bought a used set of H&R coilovers 5yrs ago (for $400) w/ roughly 30K on it....
Still fine now, no leaks (a bit bouncy, but only recently)......and I've easily thrown another 65K on them.
