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
