based on used s2ks i've seen in this area (sc/nc) - that price seems a little bit high but not bad considering the (relatively) low mileage...

i'm pretty sure the dark blue top was an option - but the black is standard. at least that's how it was with my '04.

i think other pre-'04 owners here will tell you that the stock rears wear out pretty quickly - especially if the car was driven aggressively (even occasionally).

good luck - and good choice with the suzuka if you end up getting it!
