Does anybody keep OEM springs?

[nyuk98GT]

Searched but did not find an answer so my question is: is there any reason to keep the OEM springs?

Thanks in advance for the advice.

If you trade in the car could swap back to stock.

2020FordRaptor,

Thank you for the reply. I guess stock springs are best for resale/trade - the new owner may want more utility out of their SUV. But a lowered ST looks so good...

I'll tuck the springs away.

Thanks for the nudging me out of my Mustang mode of thinking about modifications.

It’s not even that the new owner doesn’t want it, its the fact it it wont add value to your vehicle when going to sell it, so might as well pull them off and sell them seperately.

I kept mine for exactly that reason... I have actually saved everything I have taken off so I can put it back to stock if I ever trade it in.

Thanks, fellas, for the good advice. I was fighting my inner packrat but there is good justification for keeping the springs (and the rear sway bar, lol).

Kept mine as well.

The exhaust is the real question. Takes up so much space, but the aftermarket is pretty pricy!

Not if you make wall art out of it….

I cut the mufflers off at (the middle of) the first straight section, then stored everything, springs, both sway bars, strut tower brace.

I normally keep it and hand it to the new buyer if I sell it privately, I'll trash or give away if I do a trade-in.

I usually keep my stock parts to my Mustangs when i modifiy them, except for the ones that are waaaay far from stock. But for the most part my "daily driver" mustangs either get returned to stock, or the original parts go in the trunk to the new owner. But i've saved the springs typically. I've had no problem selling those either.
