Y33 JIC coilovers

Before anyone gets too excited, the fronts are blown and one front camber plate is pretty badly bent. However, the rears are fine and if you are resourceful, the fronts may be able to be repaired. JIC told me to take some measurements and they'd see what they could do about getting new inserts. I didn't feel like messing with it so I just bought new coilovers. Asking $400+shipping. JIC charges a $500 core charge for just the front knuckles so I think this price is fair. I paid $600 for them a few months ago not knowing they were blown. I will have pics up soon

$400, tempting. I could possibly use the rears to stiffen my ride up some. I'll have to do some research to find out how much it'll cost to overhaul the fronts. If you can't find any buyers, let me know what your plans are to do with them. Thanks.

If I end up getting a y33 soon I am definitely getting these from you too. That is a good price even if I can only use the rears...
