Ok, I get that this question has probably been asked before but I haven't found an answer yet.

Is it worth replacing my 14-year-old OEM springs with a set of new standard height King Springs? I'm not interested in lowering it at all.

I'm doing front struts soon and I figure if I'm going to do springs obviously I should do them at the same time. But I don't want to spend money if there is no real benefit to replacing the springs.

Thanks

Have your springs sagged noticeably?

If they haven't then I wouldn't bother changing em.

Ride height seems to be fine at all four corners, although the driver's side front sits a bit lower, which I'd attributed to the strut being well past its use-by date.

Thanks for the tip, I'll leave them be.

also depends on the feel of your ride.i put in kind springs didn't like them much.at the moment went heavy duty standard pedders front springs $190.
