i can pull a strut and mount from pull a part for my 1990 325i should i do it if its in decent shape or just break down and get a new one also im wanting to lower it a little but i cant afford coilovers how bad are eibach springs

A used strut should be fine as it takes a pretty big hit to bend one. Disassemble and inspect the used strut, it could need a new strut insert, upper strut bearing or wheel bearing.

The eibach springs are very soft for the amount of drop and are not a good choice, H&R Sports would be my choice for a mild drop.

From what I've read about eibach springs, cut stock springs would actually be better.

Also, any part is worth using if it's in good condition. Used or not.
