its taking up space in my garage and i dont feel i should keep it. i kept the stock sus. on my jetta and it just took up space till the day i sold the car and then gave it to the new owner.

TIA for your opinions!

Default i'd keep it in case you decide to sell the car...

then you can swap for the stock suspension and sell your bilsteins and h&r's.

oh, and i hope you don't mind...
on an unrelated note, do your wheels have two sides? like, are they swept forward on both sides, or do they go the opposite way on the other side?

Default ehhh..... they're the same on both sides.... i dont think i would>>>

pay to swap them back in the event that i sell the car cus that labor alone would cost what i would probably get for a used bilstien sus.

Default hmm... you may be right...

the only people that are going to be interested in used stock suspension components are going to be people who don't want to upgrade their cars, i'm guessing... and thus, people who probably only go to the dealer for service, and thus people who probably don't hang out on the audiworld forums too much.

the other school of thought is that you or someone else may eventually want/need them, and as soon as you pitch the parts, you or that other person will suddenly realize that you want/need them -- there was an article in ec about it this month.

btw, thanks for the info on the wheels -- they look mighty tasty.

Default You could make some nice lamps or perhaps an anchor for a small boat ! :-)

...but seriously I was thinking the same thing as I am upgrading the suspension soon. It would be great to get a few bucks for it!But doubtful I think.
