Default buying used springs

Im thinking about picking up some used springs from a member on here. They are eibach sportlines and appear to be in good condition. They have been used for two years. Im wondering if used spring in general would still give the same performance and everything else as if I bought brand new ones? I mean, springs dont really have any wear and tear do they?
heres a pic



also these are for a 6th gen civic, how much you think i should pay?

To answer your q, yeah, those look decent and would probably give you the same performance of new ones, but save you some $$. Don't know about price though, check ebay or something, see what they go for.

As mentioned, there are other options that might be better, though. What shocks are you running? And what do you plan to use the car for?

if its just a dd, then these are fine. i had them on my old dc4 and liked em ok. your stock shocks will probably need to be replaced at the same time, too though. agx's are ok, but try to score some koni's if ya can.

Used springs are perfectly okay to get. Springs don't tend to crack or bust, and if i recall correctly, eibach has a lifetime warranty on springs when I bought my eibach prokits. Good way to save money, but after having prokits, i don't think i'd ever go back to something non-adjustable.

Buy them used, you will be fine. Our parts are engineered to last
