came across a guy selling koni/gc for $450 and claims they have about 10k miles on them, is it worth paying the 450 for it or should i just spend few more bucks and get F&F type 1 or save up for F&F type 2 or for brand new set of koni/GC?

$450 for good condition koni/GC is a steal. Since you'd rather buy garbage, can you tell me the name of the guy or his email so I can buy the suspension?

You spend $600+ on Function&Form and I'll spend the $450 on Koni/GC and sell my current setup and break even.

**Edit:

You should buy the Koni/GC setup. Provided he's got pictures that indicate they look like they're lightly used, they should be awesome.You won't get the lifetime warranty, but for less than $800 for a new set you aren't going to find any setup with a warranty worth while. Considering new a new Koni/GC setup is $800, $450 for a lightly used set is really good.

You'll be spending close to double that for brand new koni/gc. 450 is a STEAL.

I know the price is a good deal but they have 10k miles on them. I know they last long but how much life do they have left in them?

It's a risky purchase if you don't know the guy personally... The Sleeves/springs should be fine, I wouldn't worry about those as much. The shocks however are the ones in question. You really just can never tell how much longer they will last or what kind of abuse they've been through. It's a great price if everything checks out and would be fine for a few years, but there's no way of telling...

Worst comes to worse, a shock or 2 blows out and you spend a few hundred bucks replacing them. Still putting you maybe a tiny under or about even with a brand new setup.

Guy sold them
I know that happened to me too! I was gonna buy the Konis/GC from this one kid selling them for $500. But $450 WITH the extended top hats? Damn. I'd be pissed.
