Can't speak for the seller, but they run about $1,850.00 new. I think an offer of $900.00 would be fair. Used shocks normally sell for 1/2 of the retail price

I tried to delete the add

I have decided to keep them and install the H Sport front sway bar. I like the shocks a lot but the spring rate is just a little too soft for me. I spoke to Bilstein and I was told that the original set sent for the american market they thought was too firm so they asked for a softer spring. They are really nice but not as aggressive as Konis. I think the front sway bar will solve the roll problem. I spoke with H Sport and the front and rear bar (I have already) are meant to work together. There is plenty of adjustablility to dial out the understeer that the front bar will induce. The bar will be installed when I get home from LA in about 10 days. I'll post my impressions then. PLease understand that I am a neophite at all of this and "messing" with it is "fun" for me. So if I look a little stupid/ignorant, that is a fair assesment.....but I have a grin on my face:smile:

I know the koni is larger than the stock shaft and you have to drill out the hole slightly to get them to fit. I am just wondering if I am going to have to replace the parts I drilled out to install the pss9's.

How is your current experiment coming ? Would you say the ride on the street was noticably smoother/more compliant with the pss9's than the koni's ?
