One of my friend's friend has a set of KW V1, but one shock is broken. He wants to sell the rest of the kit for $350. Should I take it? And if I take it, where can I get a replacement for the broken shock? and how much would it be? all comment and advice are welcome

maybe I should also post it in the suspension section?

Can you not get them rebuilt at KW?

... if one is broken, don't you think the rest would be in similar condition ? Even if you fix the one in question, the others may give you a less than ideal ride & handling.

The guy said its broken during the installation. Do you have any idea how can I justify the condition of a used coilover?

and the seller has been driving a broken one all these time, I am surprised he did not have excess wear on his tires and other suspension components as the result, in the worst case scenario, he could put himself in a riskier condition on the road.

For me, I would preferred not to buy used suspension components because you don't know how the orig. owner treats the car.

+1 dude. Used suspension is a bad idea IMO unless you really know the seller
