Porsche 944 koni shocks + ground control front

I need new shocks for my 1985.5. I really don't have experience with this. I want Konis but kind of poor right now. I found "Porsche 944 koni shocks + ground control front $150 " and wondering if this would be a good buy?

How used are they? Got any pictures?

For reference I probably spent 500 getting all of that on the front of my car. It is totally worth it too.

Ground controls, Eibach, and Koni red shocks installed. I adjusted the reds to full. I must say, very nice. $100, and 4 hours to install. I like em.

This past weekend I installed the yellow adjustable Koni Sports, new strut mounts and I went ahead and got bump stops and dust covers just for the hell of it. It was about $200 per side for the front all in including shipping. I hemmed and hawed over this for a while and I tell you I am so glad I went with the koni's. I love them and I love that they are adjustable. I also added S2 sway bars and it feels great.

That sounds cheap, find out how old they are

I really got lucky. They are 18 months old. The PO installed them then blew his motor.
