Take a look at the attach bracket on the most left coilover, "Very good condition" I think not

lol I think that's one of the worst "very good condition"s I've ever seen on eBay. They haven't even tried to hide the fact that they're completely fucked.

You could bend it back, however when you cold bend steel once it is stronger at the bend because of the way the atomic structure of metal aligns to the bend. If you bend it back though you create microscopic fissures in the structure which drastically weakens the material.

On a suspension component this is obviously not ideal.
