WTB: used coilovers

Hey guys... I'm trying to complete my r53 build on a super tight budget. I'm in search of a cheap set of used coilovers. I know this isn't the optimal way to go but I'm really looking for more than an inch drop. I can't afford new coiloversion but I was hoping to snag a used set. If I can't afford used coilovers I'd be looking to buy a set of used springs... of anyone is looking to sell their setup please let me know!

I have a set of Spax RSX coilovers collecting dust in my garage. They probably have about 40K miles on them. I took them off because the ride was very harsh and one of the rear shocks began to seep oil (it still has good dampening). I have spanner wrenches for the spring perches and an adjustment **** for the front shocks. The rear shocks have built in adjustment ***** but they're seized. I'll spray some penetrating oil on them and see if they loosen up.
They were about $1,000 new. PM me an offer, low ball if you want.

You don't have to get used to be cheap. The EZ street megan coilovers are only $700 and have adjustable ride height and dampening and have proven to be reliable.

coilovers

As I'm extremely new to the MINI game (coming from 5 e46's) 330, m3 zhp, zhp, m3... lol I'm quote confused as to why the coilovers for the mini are priced how they are... please don't judge me but Id be willing to pay 200 for coilovers plus shipping as they're used and you stayed they clearly aren't being used lol get back to me regardless! Thank you for your response!

are you paying $200 for E46 coilovers? If so, those aren't the type that are available for your Cooper S. The stance-bro crowd hasn't flooded the market with super duper cheap bargain coilovers made for looks only.
