    High-mileage springs

    Are springs with higher mileage on them still going to be "Good" ?

    I am looking at some aftermarket springs, used w/ 80k miles on them.

    I dont know for sure, but apparently those 'cheap' brands tend to go soft after a while

      How about original green Racing Dynamics springs from Italy?

        Those are probably a-ok to run, even after 80k miles. High quality springs don't normally go bad.

              That depends - is a car that has had quarter panels replaced still "Good" ?
