Default Car totaled... worth taking out springs?

Hey everyone Merry Christmas.. i was wondering since i got in a car accident last week they will be taking my car away most likely tomorrow because it was a total loss I had and still have Tien H-Techs on the car.. wich were just enough noticable drop if anyone was wondering.... ANYHOW... DO you think it is worth the trouble to take them out and replace em with my stock springs... ( i will be doing this infront of my house, just to make sure what tools do i need? and is it worth the time and effort)

yeah man, definitely worth it, unless its ridiculously difficult to get them off. when my dad totaled his first M6, he salvaged every part he could and put it on the second one we got. so yeah man, go for it

your call. you are either going to end up doing the process once with new, or mess with the springs three times with the old and saving a 160 bucks.

I would take them off... If you dont the salvage yard will and then they get to do whatever with them (prolly sell them).. I would take them off if you decide to get another Scion you got springs if you dont get another atleast you can sell them yourself and make a few bucks towards a new mod...

Take everything salvageable. I regret not doing that with my Nissan 240sx. I could've made all kinds of bank from the parts. If you are mechanically inclined and the engine and transmission are still good take those also. You can tinker around with and you may learn some things.
