I would go new myself. A kit from BAT, or aftermarket OEM from a local store. Might as well get new top bushings (bushing between strut top and body of car) seeing your in there already. Do it all at once, so you don't have to pull it apart again.
As far as your question, most likely not worth doing, like stated you'll jack your front end up and get some really ugly fender gap (yuck)plus I'm guessing they r used.
