    Would anyone here know about used springs? How long(miles) are they good for?
    What should you look for when buying used?

    Thanks

    Springs are pretty much good forever. They do wear, but at such a slow rate compared to the rest of the car that usually the only thing you need to look for is rust, and the metallurgy on modern springs is usually pretty rustproof.
