i searched and didnt find what i was looking for...question about spring life
I found some used Eibach Pro kit springs for sale in the classified section for a reasonable price. The seller said they had about 12-15k on them.
What I would like to know is how long will they last on my car with stock-sport shocks? Should I bother with buying used? or spend the extra hundred or so for the new ones?
Thanks alot for all your responses.

not long at all(shocks)...
springs are good to buy used. Shocks...get new ones.
The stock shocks will blow. Just get aftermarket shocks and install them once. If you keep the stock shocks, then you'll have to take the suspension setup off again later when you get the new shocks. $300 labor x 2. waste of $$$!!!
