Not trying to crap on your FS thread ... am I messed up? are these really worth $1800?

I just picked up a mid to premium set of coils for $23, I could get an entry level (but still very capable) set for $12 new/shipped...

I see used decent branded coilover sets go for $600 to $1000 ...

but I wish you luck with your sale!

Bealljk, you should do your research. I'm sure Nedim isn't targeting guys that are trying to put the cheapest parts on their beloved cars. $23 on springs are you serious?? This is a high performance car, it doesn't pay to cheap out on safety.

NedimV good luck with the sale that is a serious setup !!

bump bump bump!!!!!!

OP -
-post better & more pictures of the coilovers, photograph them on a big sheet of white paper ... it's hard to see details when the background is so dark.
-a close-up of the adjusting mechanism
-post pictures of them on your car
-clean the rust off the hardware/coilover(or all together replace)
-give us a 2 or 3 sentence description of the process you used to clone these or link your build thread
-I'd also convert your lbs/in to kg/mm (500lbs > 9kg & 280 > 5kg) ...

1) You're as ignorant as your first post. Aurora bearings are of the highest quality and not cheap. Better than anything offered premade. So you're point is baseless due to ricer fanboy ignorance.

Strange Engineering / Hyper Coil setup is a staple in drag racing. Again ignorance at its finest.

2) You're a bird for even having the time to check out my old posts.

Back on track. Let's get this setup sold!
