buying used springs?

i know this isnt the "suspesion" forum, but i seem to get nice quick replies in here...

whats everyones opinion on buying used springs? im thinking of buying a set of sportlines off someone from online. he says they are only 2 months of use on them, but really i have no way of knowing for sure right?

what does everyone in here suggest? any help is appreciated

i recently got a used set of goldlines, and i havent installed them yet but i dont have a fear in my mind. reason being, full lifetime warranty on the springs against sagging, and just abt any problem i can encounter.

do they have a warranty offered by the company?

ask the guy for his receipt to validate your warranty if there is one.

yea...i would, cept his deal is that he was sold the springs, and says he was bullshitted about the model they are for. since they dont fit his ride, he's in turn selling them off. i should ask anyway though, just in case

in the pics i saw, they look to be in top condition. the only thing that seems fishy is the price. damn good price for the springs

id say contact the company and ask them whats needed if the springs do start sagging on ya.

i know with goldlines all they require is a picture of your car, the end that is sagging and they send ya new springs. find out the company's policy for your peace of mind.

jer2k is an unknown quantity at this point
I bought a used pair of H&R sport and never had a problem.

The sportlines are made my Eibach if Im not mistaking. I would trust Eibach company springs as long as they are for the 2001+ civic. AS long as brand name I think you can trust used springs.
