Eibach Springs Question

I need opinions as to buying used Eibach springs for my 96Maxima. Supposedly, the springs have only been used for about two months. 1.5"F and 1.3" rear. I want to know if it is worth buying used springs or would the handling/look not be as good as if they were new.. Used about 100$/ New about 220$..

I need opinions ASAP as i just ordered my KYB AGX shocks today. Please HELP!!!! Thanks

I've yet to hear of or see postings of Eibachs losing their "springiness" (for want of a better word), especially after 2 months of use. My Eibachs are 2 yrs old and are off my car they are still in great condition.

I wouldn't be worried about it with a quality spring.

Save the bucks and take advantage of the deal, I have Eibachs and I'm completely happy with them, with the help of Blackcat I just paired them up with Illumina's and couldn't be happier, they had been on the car for 1 year with stock SE struts and were in great condition, so go get em!

Springs are one of the few things with cars that are fine to buy used the vast majority of the time.
