With the number of Miatas out there, you could pick up some used kit for fairly cheap.
I got the Fat Cat stuff off the guy won BSP in Lincoln. I have his prior setup.

It seems a bit hard to find tho relatively. Watching forums I mean its not like there is always a set of Xidas for sale and a lot of people seem to overvalue their used parts
That's called supply and demand. If something is desirable and hard to find, it will be expensive.

Yeah, 3/4s of the time I find some guy selling Racelands who swears they are as good as Fox

And then there's the issue of buying a used consumable (shock) item...

Except for the odd thing here and there, quality shocks will last quite a long time under normal use.
The current Koni's in the Ground Control kit on my BRZ have at least 40k miles on them and they still damp, adjust, and don't leak or make funny noises. They've been on my car for just over 30k miles, and the guy I bought them from said they had 10k on them when he sold them................so they may have even more.

You just have to be patient. While I was shopping, I looked at a number of coilover sets and jumped on the ones I purchased promptly as they were exactly what I sought.
The Bilstein shocks are rebuildable too, so when the shocks do crap out, I put the stock stuff back on while they are being refurbished, replace the bumpstops and I am rolling on a new setup.
