How old do you think these springs are? (56k warning)
I just had my springs and a blown shock replaced today. The springs that were taken off were some kind of RSR springs and I have no idea how long they were already on the car before I bought it. Does anyone have any idea from the pictures how old these springs could be?
They were replaced with these:
Tein S Tech's

Longer than 6 months?? a year?? who knows?? who cares??... you've moved on up
get a pic of some new ones or something that shows the original length and then see how much they've sagged since then....

Those are the rare RS*R Type Rust.
Honestly I have no idea.
EDIT: How low was your car?? I might buy them if you want to be rid of them.

Has to be over a year because I've had the car for about that long. I care because I'm hoping the Teins won't look like that anytime soon.

I believe that Tein has a lifetime warranty to the original owner of their product.
If you don't want your springs to end up looking like that you can coat them with teflon to make sure.
