What to look for?

I found a used set of lowering springs and shocks on CL for $100. I don't have a lot to spend on suspension so this price works really well for me. They are already on shocks and he said they're ready to install. If I go look, what should I look for before purchasing? how can I test to make sure they're not junk?

Thanks!

This is not something you can generally eyeball. You need to take the springs off the shocks and test the rebound. The only thing you can really look for is leakage on the shock, but that can easily be cleaned off. You are flipping a coin on this one.
