Noob stock spring question Hello,
I just picked up my 2000 WS6 which is my first GM product. I have always been a Mustang guy but it was time for a change. Anyways, the WS6 has Eibach lowering springs and I absolutely hate them. I want to swap them out for stock springs. I found a set of stock springs with 102,000 miles on them for $60. How long to f-body springs usually last? Is 100K+ miles too much? Would they be worn out?

And FYI setting the shocks to "full soft" does not mean best ride quality, certainly not in the front at least. Try a midway setting. And while you are at it make sure your tire pressure is not over 30psi.
As far as the stock springs go, for $60 you might as well go for it, stock springs last a while (should last well over 100K) and worst case scenario you are just out of $60 and time spent swapping.
