Unidentified Shocks

I can get this suspension setup for $20. http://i3.ebayimg.com/05/i/08/e2/61/97_1.JPG

Im not sure who makes the components. They look like ground control coilover sleeves, but I have no idea about the shocks. Can anyone identify these?

Looks like GC coilover sleeves.

I see some yellow in the rear struts.
I think they may be Koni's.

The fronts might be Koni's too but the GC's are blocking the yellow.
Koni's require you to take apart the front stock strut housing and reuse some of the parts, including what you see in the picture.

They look beat to hell, but for $20 there might be something worth it in there.

Its worth $20 if just for the GC Springs + collars. (THey run $350 new). and if the dampers are Konis, then its a double boon for you. As you can send them back to koni to get rebuilt for a lot less then you could buy them new.
