buyers beware
https://www.i-club.com/forums/norcal-classifieds-96/helix-dna-coilovers-137640/
I bought these coilovers in the post above. I'm not going to bash on 1psdwrx because part of this is my fault for not checking the merchandise properly before I bought it. My friend and I were going to install these coilovers today and foun the brake line bracket was broken off the right front coilover. The coilovers are otherwise in good condition. The reason why I am kind of upset is because he did not mention this at all in the thread and at the time we made the transaction. It's like he tried to sneak it in there and hope I wouldn't notice. I admit he did get the better of me but he should of said something at least. I still would of bought them but for a lower price. I tried calling him (Taylor) but he is not picking up my calls. I just want everyone to be aware of this guys when buying something from him. I believe this is part of the reason why he did not want to post pictures of the merchandise. Buyers beware.

o yeah I forgot to say that too. For ppl who read this thread +1 for what Ave said: do not buy used coilovers. You never know its history and it's hard to judge condition by visual inspection.

Same thing happened to my friend who got these sway bar from another i-clubber. It didn't come with the bushings but the buyer said the stock one should fit. When he went to install them it didn't. Bad on my friends part who should have done some research. My friend never blamn the guy or asked for a refund. He didnt' like the color anyways so he end up selling it off to another user here but he disclose that the bushings are not included. He also offered to purchase the bushing for the guy too.
Anyhow, to me it's not really the sellers fault sometimes the buyer has to do some research and look at the product carefully because at the end it's you who is losing.
