TEIN Coilovers

I was wondering, someone is selling the basic TEIN Coilover and hes asking 600. Is this a good price? My shocks are going bad so I'm thinking of that as a 2-in-1 deal. Needs some tips for which coilovers to get and prices. Thanks
Also he has an hks hi power exhaust and hes asking 650 + stock exhaust? Should i?

How many miles on the Basics? If it's relatively low, that's an ok price. If you do not require dampening adjustability, basics are not a bad setup for what you're paying for.

he said coilovers have 15k miles on it. New cost 810. So is 15k miles for 600 worth it?

Don't waste your money. Like someone stated before me, you can get that POS suspension for 800 new, but there's a reason why most people try to sell their Tein Basics after a year or so. Better yet, skip Teins altogether and get a suspension that's actually had some real R&D... If you're on a budget, look into MDU, or BC.

So TEIN basic isn't any good? What if I talked him down to 550?

He has all these for sale:

Authentic HKS true dual exhaust(not sure if its the same as Hi Power) - $650 plus stock exhaust.

Aps test pipes - $100 plus stock cats(don't know what the cats are)

Nismo CAI - $100 plus stock intake

Tein basic flex coil overs - $600

Any suggestions?

I'm actually going against the TEIN coilovers. I've been looking around and people seem to have a lot of negative comment on the quality. How much without the TEIN should I ask for. Also he said he can install it all for me.

Cats are the cat converters from the headers(exhaust manifold) to the y-pipe. They are the most restrictive part of our car. Id say the intake is the only thing priced reasonably and the gains are minimal at best for a CAI. The exhaust is overpriced if it is authentic and teins aren't worth the trouble.

We worked out a deal. 700 for the test pipes, intake, and exhaust. He's also going to install them. If I don't like to exhaust I'll sell it to you
