Hi everyone,
Well, I finally got my TRD springs installed and was wondering what I should do with the stock tC springs that were replaced? Trash 'em? Keep them in case I ever need to put them back on? Sell them? If I should sell them, who would want them? And, how much could I sell them for? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks! -Jayme

Thanks Chris,
I guess people will buy anything on Ebay so maybe I will try that ;-). I'm going to wash my car after work and will try to get some pics before it gets too dark. It looks a lot better with the springs and it still rides really great. -Jayme

I would hold on to them. I'm trying to return my Focus back to stock and the only part I have left on the car are my coilovers because I just threw out my stock springs. You never know when you'll need a stock part.
Diffently hold on to the springs, you always want to hold on to factory parts if for any reason you need to return it to factory condition.
I have had cases were people wanted the car I owned but only if the factory springs were back on, or alot of dealers wouldn't let me trade in a car with after market springs.

Thanks everyone for the responses. I'm still not sure what to do with the springs so I will hold on to them for awhile and see if I can find a use for them. I don't think I will ever need to return my car to stock because if I do sell her, I will sell her privately and no one would mind such a subtle drop. Here are pics of my car before and after the springs:

So far, I can't tell much difference in the ride but I've only driven about 30 miles since I had the springs installed. Feel free to leave a comment and let me know what you think. Thanks, Jayme

keep as much stock items as you can even though you think you wont need them. I thought I was gonna keep my corolla but plans changed and I'm getting a tC and I am in the process of turning it back to stock. I'm lucky I only let go of one item (front grill sold on ebay for $40) but am so glad I kept the stock springs, wheels, tail lights, headlights, etc..

was i right?
i'm not 100% sure but it seems like the TRD springs give you a slighty lower drop in the rear than in the front, which makes the car look like it point upwards in the front. In other words it seems like their is a bigger wheel gap in the front than the rear.
just slighty though. i haven't seen a tC with springs yet, but from the pics that i've seen, it looks that way.
