Need to Raise my car, need Springs

Whats going on fellas, haven't been on the boards for awhile. I planning on selling her while she is still fresh. So I was thinking of raising her back to specs.

Has anyone sold there car for more or the same Blue Book value when it was dropped? I mean the car is beautiful dropped looks like a 25,000 sports coupe. Lettme know what u think.


oh yeah how much for some OEM Acura Springs, I can't seem to find mines. Used or New, can i use Accord springs?

It would cost you more to put it back to stock than to leave it lowered. Most people would find lowering a plus or not even notice anyway

yeah when I sold it, I had a pro-kit.

It would cost more to raise the car indeed....removal of springs, re-alignment, etc.

Then you can sell the springs for what, $80? I just said that it wasn't worth it and just sold the car with lowering springs....

You can look for a trade with somebody. Maybe somebody out there has enough skills to trade the springs. The only thing that would suck is the wheel aligment afterwards. But if you have firestone unlimited, then it won't be an issue. LOL

I am willing to do a trade + cash (to u) if anybody is interested in some stock shocks (2.3) and springs. It depends on ur springs, etc. The only thing is that my car can't sit on cinderblocks because I park in a lot. They have to be able to move the car around.
