Default FS: Sachs shocks from 996 Cup

I'm selling a set of Sachs shocks that I've just removed from my '03 cup. The shocks were installed on the car in 2005 (by the previous owner) and have approximately 55 hours total on the shocks since then. They come with springs and helpers:

Front:
Main spring: 100-240
Helper: 75-60-43

Rear:
Main spring: 130-260
Helper: 60-60-50

Asking $1750 OBO + shipping for the set.

I've gone back to '03 stock with a new set of the non adjustable Bilsteins which i also the same set up as I've had on my 6GT3 for the past few years. This is only going to be a DE car for the next year, so I want to keep the set up relatively simple while I learn the car.

The 03 had the same double adj dampers. The sachs and the bilsteins both need a rebuild every 2-3 seasons.
When you rebuild the bilsteins you can ask them to increase compression and rebound @ 20%...
The Sachs you can do same or raise can pressure past spec to raise the effective spring rate....

Who would you guys suggest for a rebuild? Apparently Sachs is charging $800-$1000 per shock. Seems pretty steep?
