There are bunch of different types of Bilsteins for our car. Can you find out what they are? For example, SLP, HD...

well you can get a brand new set of HD's off ebay for 350 so id go with no, and just because a guy claims it was only on his car for 3k miles or whatever there is no way to tell, it could be 30k miles. Id just go new.
