life of lowering springs??
Pretty simple question.
Have a chance to buy a used pair of Eibachs for 175 to my door with 12k miles on them. Or I could get a brand new set from marylandspeed for $238 to my door. What would YOU DO?

175. Not much wear involved unless they are coming from a damaged car or auto cross vehicle.

I'd spend the extra and get a new set. The new set isn't that much more. Now if the used set was priced around 125, I'd probably go with them then.

BMR offers a lifetime warranty to the original owner against sag on all our springs. I would wait a day or two and take another look at your options on a new set of springs.....you won't be disappointed!!!!

I think I am actually going to go with your 1" drop springs. Do you sell right out of your Seffner shop?

It depends on the quality of the springs, I have had a lot of issues with eibach's on several other applications in the past. My Silverado's settled to the point that the front tires were touching the inside of the fender lip. They didn't stand behind there warranty will never use them again.
I have over 80k on my Hotchkis springs with no issues or sag, and a lot of track time. I have driven several spring combos in different Camaro's and feel these have the best ride quality. As far as handling, I always finish top 3 in all the road course and autocross events I enter.
