Default Keep stock suspension/springs or not?

For those of you who swapped out the stock suspension and springs. Did you guys keep them stocked away somewhere or got rid of them so they don't take up space?

Do you guys see a point to keep them?

I kept my springs (and intend to keep the stock shocks when I replace them with the F-sports) in case I need to revert back to stock if I ever sell the car.

I do realize the F-sport drop is pretty much near stock height anyway, but you never know! If you can store them and think you might sell the car one day, keep them!

keep it. your not really gaining anything if you sell them because if you go back to stock then you have to deal with the hassle of buying another set. my stock suspension was put into my bcr box and its in the corner of the basement

I'm planning on keeping the car for at least 5 more years. By then I don't think my shocks/suspension will be worth any more than the cost of paying a mechanic to swap them out before I sell?

Correct me if I'm wrong. It costed about a little more than 200 for labor when I had it installed.

Jus keep em man. stock stuff doesent go for much. Much better to have them in case you need them. Then to not have them when you need them.
