I feel its kinda spendy for a used kit...
What do you guys think?



Moderators: Feel free to move this to the Suspension section if need be.

I think it's pricey for a used kit.

How much would those be brand new?

[thesixsins]

$1899.99 from KW's Websight... It looks to be similar on other sights...
So for $300 more I could have brand new ones...

He does mention it has upgraded Shock mounts front and rear already installed. (I'm finding out what brand).

He says he's "firm" on price but I was thinking more in the range of $1300 for used ones...

[Marcus-SanDiego]

$1600 is too much. It's too close to retail.

Unfortunately -- for the seller -- those are now used. If you can get 50%-70% of retail, you're doing well on used car parts. I'd offer $1100-$1200 for used KWs.

idk if you HAVE to get Kw's but you can get h&r coils for 1100-1200 ish and bilstein coils for 1100

oh ans that's from jlevisw

I think the price is a bit high. Also check to see KW's warranty transferability.

IMO, too high of an asking price.

Brand new V2's are $1895.00.

Unless you make the above website "price match" to the below link @ $1690.99....which they (MB's) will do.

I am thinking $800-$1200 is around perfect for these.

[thesixsins]

I passed on them... He said he sold them for 1500!

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Good for him. Someone overpaid. It wasn't you.
