As some of you may know I have to replace the coilovers in my S15 because I couldn't find anywhere to refurbish them. They've been knocking for a while and I've recently discovered it's because the damper on the passenger side rear is fubarred as are the shafts on both of the front coilovers.
They're HKS Hipermax Pro Coilovers - lightweight Coilovers with pillow ball upper mounts; height, damper & camber (at front) adjustable. The spring rates are 10 kgf/mm at the front and 7 kgf/mm at the rear. These are / were (they're no longer in production) the best HKS offered and are worth in excess of €2,000 new; but what are the set I have worth?
I had thought the top mounts and springs would be worth in the region of €300-400, if I got that for them the buyer could have whats left of the set of coilovers for free (1 of which is not damaged and could be worth a large proportion of that amount on its own - drivers side rear).
As you can see from the pics they are still on the car and one of the springs has a spot of rust beneath the top mount.
I have searched but these coilovers are quite rare and I have not seen second hand sets / parts come up for sale before. All help / comments appreciated.

P.S. I've bought Driftworks CS2's as they're replacement, they should be on before the end of the month so I'm hoping to put the HKS up for sale as soon as I can as funds are very tight at the minute
