He later clarified that springs get weaker both from age and/or use, and he would never put used springs into a Motorsport (including autocross) situation. It sounds to me like if your car is 20 years old, and sees track time, it probably needs new springs, but if you have a street car that doesn’t see extreme use you could maybe run old springs and get away with it.
So, I am going to skip the double springs and buy a set of new Porsche Genuine springs.

Interesting....
So what causes a failed follower? Is it just old oil clogging the passages in the follower and then it can't work properly or is it binding in the follower saddle?
