I would go for new ones, you never know what you're getting from the scrap yard, also you would only be paying around £30-50/ shock depending on the make you go for and where you shop...

Just stay away from Jamex ones, I was not impressed with them as after 5 months they became faulty...

Also if you're thinking of changing them yourself, then make sure you have a vice handy and a big pipe rench or something to get the securing cap off so you can get the shock out of the casing, all will become clear when you do it, mine were a bit of a nightmare to do so thought I would just give you the heads up...
