insite, I have a few friends with 03 S's (manual transmissions) that are considering lowering their cars after seeing mine.

I have a 97 with a manual transmission and was thinking of maybe taking the hwoel package off your hands. However, my friends are hesitant to buy used springs. What are your thought/comments on this? How many miles have you run on them?

Thanks

this thread sort of got hijacked; oh well. jhandy is the original poster selling springs / rear sway. i'm also selling springs, but my price is higher! :-)

anyway, in material science, the spring rate of a steel spring NEVER changes with age or use, it is a constant forever. what DOES change is the spring LOAD, which is essentially its uncompressed length. REALLY old springs can sag. in the case of the M030, this really won't happen during the life of the car; the wire stock is too high a quality. you can feel comfy buying used springs.
