    How long do MP3 springs last?

    I'm thinking about buyin a used set of springs that have 20,000 miles on them & wanna know how much longer do ya think they'll last before being replaced.

      It sounds like an odd question, because I've never heard of stock springs needing to be replaced. Usually it's the struts that wear out to the point of needing to be replaced. But anyone that knows better may correct me on that.

          springs usually last pretty long, but I guess it would depend on who made them . Some areas have ruff winters so you may see a little rust on them , but that may just only be exterior

                  Usually it's the struts that go out first. I don't think you'll have any problems...the Racing Beat springs are very high quality.

                    Racing Beat designed not built spings. I also have a pair of used MP3 springs on my es. they tighten up the suspension, which is what I wanted. I still have the OEM sturts cause I didn't want to feel everything in the road and also have to replace the sway bars while inhareting the MP3 "Clunck". If you need a set of compression tools, I have the ones I bought and I don't think I'll use them again. Very easy to use, LMK if you interested in buying them so you can do the install yourself.

                          depends on the car.

                          springs WILL eventually go a bit softer, just from being used for years and years. Not a huge difference.

                          20,000 miles? they'll be perfect.

                              mackdaddyslammo,
                              Good to see you got them. I couldn't figure out how the hell to make sure other than tracking numbers since protegeclub appears to be ... Later.
