Are they less than half the price of new?

I know plenty of people do it but I can never justify it. Same with a used clutch. I'd rather not go through the trouble of replacing something when I'm going to have to replace it even sooner.

55k seems like a lot to me?
I don't think I could buy used shocks and struts with that main miles on them, never know what they've been through.

ONLY 55k miles? Dude, don't even bother. Unlike stuff like control arms, and springs, dampers wear out pretty quickly. If you were never to do any kind of track at all, I would say why not, but considering that you want to drive the car more aggressively than most people do, I'm going to say, don't bother. You will end up spending more at the end when you have to revalve them, had you bought a good new set from the beginning.

I don't think I had 5k on mine. They were installed when I had the air bags installed and removed 2 yrs later when I upgraded to the shockwaves. Pm me and I can get you some pics but they are in great shape.

I bought some Tokico Illuminas (sp) with "40k" on them and one blew out on my second track day during HPDE3. Coupon code or sale only for me on shocks/struts.

Yeah at 55k miles that guy is just trying to sell his worn out struts after replacing them.
