used springs, any problems?

[ShadowAC]

so im thinking about picking up some lowering springs for my car and to save on costs i was thinking of going used. anyone know of any problems with going with used springs before i buy some?

as well, if anyone has any for sale feel free to post or PM me, i live in san diego

only advice id give is go with some that have low mileage. although i have about 18k miles on my springs and have no problems whatsoever

Springs should be ok. Only thing you have to worry about is what they'll do to your stock struts/shocks.

Are you getting springs only or coilover system?

I bought a coilover system with 10k miles, and some of the nuts and spacers had so much wear you could see right through the metal! I had go those parts fabricated.

im going with just springs, because of costs

You shouldn't have any problems with 2nd hand springs, as long as they don't have too many miles.

If possible, see if you can easily compress the springs by hand. Or ask the seller to do it. If you're able to compress it without straining, you wouldn't want them on your car.
