OK, here's the deal. I am running out of garage space. I've got my OEM springs sitting in a large box, taking up room, and I'm seriously considering tossing them in the trash. I am fairly sure if I ever sell my car, I'll be selling to someone who will appreciate the car as it is, mods and all. Therefore, keeping the OEM springs is just a waste of space. What do you guys think? Does anyone ever really sell their OEM stuff successfully (for more than a few measly bucks)? Thanks in advance for your opinions and input.

I sold my OEM suspension from the Accent on here. I sold it for $100 shipped (springs and struts) and it cost $99.XX to ship it lol. But, I got them out of my garage and into the hands of someone who could use them at no cost to me.

Depends if cops in your area like to give citations for cars being too low... just charge somebody shipping only to get them!

I kept mine. The factory suspension was good. Maybe in 10 years I will clean out.

That's what attics are for, not garages!

You should see all the parts I've horded from my last cars. Most will end up as scrap.
