if your trading it into dealer and only have springs. YES, it will take a definite toll on your trade-in value

Dont be lazy, put the stock springs back on and sell your aftermarket ones. Dealers will drop value for just that. Hell, they'll drop value for cleared headlights!!!

I doubt they even knew. Most used car managers just take it and look at it, wont take apart anything.

You should sell your car privately. You'd probably get more cash outta it then if you were to trade it in. Just think, the dealer is gonna buy it from you at a "bargain" price, then someone is gonna come in and buy it for a whole lot more.

Trade in value's are not what they used to be. Everyone went out and bought new cars with Zero % financing which means they traded in their old cars which means that no one is buying the used ones and therefor you wont get crap for your trade. It's a vicous cycle. I would try selling it privately for sure.
