Up for sale are a set of Cusco coilovers for a S13. They have been used a long time before and I bought them from a guy to mock up on a project. Ended up not using them and now they are up for sale. The seller had mentioned one of the front coilovers were making a knocking noise. Could be that it needs to be rebuilt or just tightened up. Front camber plates were broken loose and sprayed with WD40 so they still move. Sorry I do not have the wrenches for it. One thing I did do, was cut the brake line tabs off of the front coilovers. You'll have to be creative with that.

So? If you buy a car to fix up and sell it for more, is that wrong as well?



I forgot to mention, the coilovers were bought new in 03, and used for a few years. Then they were in storage for another couple of years until I got my hands on them a few months ago.

I could get better pictures if someone is uncertain. They are still solid, I just cannot vouch if they are flawless because I never driven on them.

Thanks guys!

Well you didn't improve the coilovers at all, so within that context, your analogy doesn't work that well lol. Honestly speaking if someone were to buy these at your asking price, they would in actually be spending more money if they want it to be in functional working order (though if you argue that it currently is, sure but to an extent but not to its full potential- if that floats you're boat lol). You can't rebuild cusco products, only replace them which ranges from at least ~$150+ just for the shock itself (that's ONE), and you may need to include more for other worned out items such as the pillowmounts or that "clucking sound" due to it age/abuse as you said they were from 2003. You may also need to take consideration of shipping costs to Japan, though there's also a Cusco facility in California, however sometimes they don't have the parts necessary and send them back to the motherland. What you're asking is too much for it's end value to whomever buys it. Trust me, I had my eyes on this on IFX too, and was really pushing to buy them and rebuild them and USE them. But as we both know, that didn't happen. If you were to get it rebuilt (meaning all four corners) on top of the $450 asking price, IMHO it wouldn't be cost efficient as you can probably purchase a reputable set of coilovers for the same money that may offer a better in-country rebuild service (tein, fortune-auto, kw,etc.) The reason why you scored it for $50 is that of the reasons I just explained or that the guy really had no need for them. Now if you were to ask a sub-range of $200, then it MAY be a little worthwhile to find a buyer but what you're asking is setting yourself up for failure.

IF anyone buys it for you're asking price, i'll be surely shocked and suprised.

But nonetheless GLWS and Happy Holidays! ;)

Go tell your local grocer to sell him bananas at his cost and see what he says.

GLWS op, nice coils and honest ad.

^This guy is honest and upfront and can vouch for him on that.

Besides that, if someone does want to buy and rebuild/revalve these coilovers go here: Rally Racing Suspension (http://www.rallyracingsuspension.com/) Check out the "Coilover rebuilding" section.

Happy Holidays to all of you!

So Kaomon, are you just shitting on this thread because you're pissed that I was able to get to them before you did? So before you see someone make a profit in a time where money's tight you're just gonna try to stray away potential buyers? And I didnt buy these to hoard actually. I bought them to convert the rears on my Supra and I was going to use the fronts on my Maxima, but ended up reverting back to stock struts and going with a AGX set up on the Supra.

Setting myself up for failure? I'm selling these as is with all information the previous owner told me. I'm not lying about anything saying they are flawless and you'll become a drift master over night with them.

So please, go fuck yourself if you have nothing to contribute.


Thank you, silx13.


I'm not hear trying to screw people out of money. I was told they were worth about this so thats why they are listed for that much. If they dont sell, they go back in the garage. But I'd rather have someone else use them and have some more money for my 4Runner build.

Thanks guys, if any questions you could always text me.

U MAAD BRO?? lol

its called business, theres nothing wrong with trying to make a buck if you dont like what you see then just leave the thread alone. He was honest about everything he knows about them which is a very fair way to do business. So what if the price is too high or too low its not your to sell so just move on..


GLWS OP, kudos for being honest!
