lowering spring life..??

[static808]

i've never dabbled with the suspension of a vehicle before (everything remained box stock), so i was wondering whether aftermarket springs like the nfs of trds have a change interval, similar to struts being replaced at 60K miles. do these aftermarket springs need to be replaced, or when you change out your struts you can still keep the same set of springs?? thanks in advance for any information regarding this...

With a quality brand they should last as long as OEM springs. OEM's do wear out however, and lots of factors play into the lifespan of such items.

from my experience, the springs do not really wear out that much except for some brands ive tried like teins where they sag a little bit after a few thousand miles. what is preventing me from lowering my dd is the risk of prematurely blowing my struts. im using a gf210 on my evo right now, it has 20,000 miles on the clock and the front left strut is about to go and they arent cheap. going coil overs will even worsen my situation where i have to have it rebuilt every 15k miles.

One of the few time I will actually agree with Peter... but his statement is 100% on point :clap:
