Question Suspension question

So i was walking around upgarage ( used performance part store here in japan. its like pep boys but filled with used Name brand Parts from Rims to Engines!! no were else can you get Gram Lights 18x8.5 for 1000 bucks with tires!!) and i found some used Tanabe Sustec GF Pro Coilovers for 400 bucks, the cheapness in me wanted to buy it at that moment but i decided to research it first but i didnt really find what i was looking for, has anybody actaully used these before and what do you think about them do you think i should get it for that price, and im a little scared to get used suspension do you think thats a good idea?

I personally would never get used suspension unless you know how many miles have been put on the suspension. I have never had any experience with Tanabe before, but I have heard that they are a decent coilover.

dont get tein basics, you will regret.
used coilovers are fine, just make sure they're not leaking!

is there a reason not to go with the basics im going for practicality, i dont need the most advanced suspension. I was going with the koni shocks and tein spring set up but i realized for the same price i could get adjustable coilovers that will accomplish the same thing. I plan on daily driving most of the time and track it once in a while.

Tein basics lower the car more than give it a comfortable ride. Plus they won't match your shocks..

Coilover is da best.

it is coilovers....if you dont really worry much about performance...then i guess tein basics are ok.
but im telling you, you better off save up a little more to get some better coilovers if you want to lower you car more....if not, knoi yellow is not a bad choice
