ok heres the deal. I live in new england, nastiest weather ever. I drove on my coilovers through all the nasty brutal weather which was obviously a bad idea rendering my adjustment knobs frozen and my bottom mounts looking crappy.
These coilovers are under warranty and have a few months short of a years use. I will be receiving replacement shocks (nicer newer design with a hardcote vs previously untreated) and new lower mounts. The coilovers will be basically brand new minus the used blue aluminum threaded collars. Hardware is in good condition with the anodizing intact. some obvious wear where the springs were in contact but no big deal as thats expected and they will be in contact with the spring again anyways. Springs have some surface rust in a few small spots where the coating came off but can easily have a spot sand and touchup applied. Top mounts are fine but will need new set screws because spl supplied non-rust friendly screws (holy less than 5 bucks batman!) Theres no rot on the top mounts, few scufts from where they contact the shock tower but again... normal usage.
Basically I was offered to be refunded their repair costs or receive the coilovers in a refurbished state from them. I want to know if I should just take the cash or if someone wants to buy these off of me for more and just have them ship them back to me. This is a hell of a chance for you to save some cash off the price however I need to make the decision soon. Shipping on these was expensive plus the 1150~ or so they go for new (which doesnt include shipping) which means costs to you would probabbly be around 1200 or more-ish.
I do not currently have them in my posession. If you want these I will require some form of deposit. normally no biggie but im not gonna say i dont want the partial refund just to have someone flake out on me, if you want these I want to have a serious commitment. Im taking offers but dont lowball. offering me 700$ IS considered a lowball so dont do it. I need to know soon however so post on up if you want em!
