The fronts are still in good condition and the rears can be rebuilt. I just want to get rid of them since I don't need them and would rather someone get them than me just tossing them in the trash.

Nope. I thought a rep from HKS would look out for me and only sell me the rears but he never responded so I went with a set of BC coils for a lot less $$$.

When they were brand new, they retailed for $1800.00. Currently a new set is starting at $2,000.00+.

Make me an offer that's over $300 and you've got first dibs.

You can sell the coils since they can still be used if you rebuild them. I will give you $300, cash pick up tonight. Let me know how you like the BC coils, I just got these installed a few months back and wished I had gone with KW V2's

I remember, I was hellbent on getting coilovers without researching it fully. Should have spent the extra cash on a better set

still have a lot of body roll, even with the ride being "stiff" i guess the car feels like complete sloppy crap going around corners. I don't trust the set up to really want to push it to the limits I know it can go.

I drove a car w/ a set of BC coilovers and the stock suspension from a lower model (of the same car) felt better. BC's make you feel like you're going to die.

Get Clay's coils, rebuild them and sell those $h!ts

Hey Kyle, the amount they cost doesn't ALWAYS equal quality. If I had to do it all over, I'm not sure I would've paid $1800 for mine and I definitely wouldn't pay $2500 for them right now. I'd rather be on stock springs if that was the option. If you're serious I can get up with you this weekend.
