keep OEM springs or throw'em away!?!?!?

hey,

I am going to install Eibech springs on my g coupe.
My questions is... would you keep OEM springs after lower the car or just let the bodyshop take them?
I don't have a garage so I want to just leave them there, but I am worried if I might need them later for reasons.
Thank you guys!!

So far I've been hoarding all my OEM parts even though I don't ever plan on parting out car

Most people keep their OEM parts. Some sell them. If you find yourself in need of them again later, somebody will be willing to sell you some. I still have mine.

Id say keep em. I like to keep my OEM parts too for when I decide to part out the car and sell it. A lot easier then having to go find and buy someone elses.

I think these have resale value if the miles are low. So many people lease these days, then mod, then return the lease car to stock. Also, we may find out soon that the G springs work well on the sedan, like the first and second gen - providing a 1/2 lower stance with similar ride quality. Still too early to know, but...

Keep em. Just ask a friend if you can put them in his garage for a couple days and just leave them there, haha. Only kidding.

I remember I put the stock springs and shocks from my Maxima in a storage closet at my work. They were there for like a year lol.

If storage space is tight, I'd say sell them and buy again if you ever need them. OE springs are cheap.
