I found these on a website for sale for $75 for the front. Suppose to fit a 3rd gen. Looks different tho. What do you think?

Tokico or Koni, but they got discontinued in 2009 i believe. i will **** a brick if you find someone selling a new set online, because back then i checked ALL of Canada and the US and nobody even has leftover stock. unless this is a private seller

Huh? The ones in the picture you posted are Intrax springs on Tokico struts. Are you buying the struts IN the picture? If so I don't see how those can be new.

Well he only used then for a month or two before he sold his car.

Yes the pic are the ones I'm buying.

So those springs are intrax?
I already have intrax and they are a different color.

What color are your Intrax? I've only ever known them to be purple. Mine are definitely purple. Then again mine are 13+ years old now.

Oh hell yes I do, I put 85 miles on my car yesterday and with no shocks in the back, it's pretty damn scary on the freeway. If I could I would reuse oems in decent shape if you need to get rid of them.

You already said you were buying them last week. Why are you waffling?

Give me the guy's info if you don't want them. I'll gladly buy them
