I have a chance to pick up a set of H&R springs that were used for 1 year for $125. If I bought new, it would cost me $330. Would you buy used?

 

I bought used....used springs are not a bad buy. Depending on how long they've been on a car you don't have to wait for the ride to settle. As long as the springs don't look cut or beat up then you're good to go. But IMO, $125 for some used H&R springs...you probably can wiggle and get it for $100. Search around the forums and you'll see a majority of springs go for about 100 bucks. Just my 2 cents.

 

As far as springs settling goes, if they're installed right they're "settled" if they're installed incorrectly then your chances are that it will take a few weeks to "settle". H&R are hard to come by new, even more used. If they were used for a year I don't see a problem there. The price is good and I'm sure you'll like them.

 

Thanks for the reply guys. Looks like I'm going to have to buy new unfortunately. The guy selling them says the rwd ones don't fit my awd.

 

I would...if I wanted springs alone that is.
