Stock springs - market for sale?

I just installed Eibach springs and I'm wondering what to do with my old springs. Has anyone tried to sell the stock springs, is there a market for these (thinking there might be if they are the same for Altima's)? Or did you all just keep the stock springs stored away?

Thanks,
TB.

Same.

Might wanna hold onto the stock parts in case you ever decide to sell it, it's harder to sell a modded car than a stock one and aftermarket mods don't raise the resale value so makes more sense to pull everything back off and part it out

If u put premium springs on you pretty much killing the point of having the Sport Package. Thats just me tho, I do hate feeling every bump in the road but the car hugs the road so its fine for me.

have you tried adjusting the PSI in your tires? I went from 38 down to 33 and it made the bumps way less noticeable, and this is dropped on Eibach's.

oh, also from what ive read here on the forums the tires you have can make a huge difference and the OEM ones aren't the best for ride quality. you dont necessarily need to go right for the springs.

I am running 33 psi but the wife has developed back problems and the ride is kinda hard on her. Will be changing out the Goodyear RSA's to a softer riding tire and maybe changing the springs. I am really going to miss the firm ride.
