Potential hazards in buyin used springs

[deftsound]

well i wanna get lowering springs and found a set of eibach springs pro kit and they are used. My question is are there any disadvantages in buying used springs? Any hazards or things i should watch out for since they are used?

I would buy used springs if they were in decent shape and un-modified (not cut). I would never buy used dampers (shocks) though...

As long as the mileage on them isn't excessive, I wouldn't worry about it.

you have to watch out for used Eibach springs, they are known to sag at the rear so people sell them

Tomustang is one of the top suspension experts here... He knows of that which he speaks...
