I have a guy who can sell me his eibach pro kit springs off him maxima, they are like 6 months old, but he is offering me $110 shipped. What do you guys think, would this be a good idea because i dont have tons on money. Thanx

 

It's not that bad of an idea to purchase 6 month old springs, as long as they were installed properly. However, you can find new Eibach pro kits for that kinda of money. I bought a set of pro kits for my Volvo 850 Turbo for that price a couple years ago (3?).

 

i bought used eibachs. it's not a bad deal. just make sure there is no corrosion or damage. also, make sure it is the 2nd generation eibach pro kits. i got the 1st gen and the drop isn't quite as low. still handles great though. never buy used shocks. i learned the hard way.

 

I would buy used springs, as long as they weren't cut. It's pretty difficult to damage a spring, otherwise. They're built to take a lifetime of abuse.

Ditto on the point about 1st Gen vs. 2nd Gen Eibach Pro. 2nd Gen is a little lower & looks much better, imho. 1st Gen was closer to an H&R drop & not as noticeable. Try to verify part #'s from Eibach & confirm w/ the seller.

 

Yep springs do not wear out. They can be damaged in other ways but again, its kind of hard to do that. $110 shipped is fair. Buy it.
