Hi people...

I need to replace my shocks, and I will go with KYB's GR-2's, however, after reading on this forum all the info I could regarding suspension, I have decided to keep my stock springs and NOT to upgrade with any aftermarket springs (ex. Teins, Eibach, etc...)

Roads here in Puerto Rico are not exactly friendly... I had to replace the shocks to my F-150 on the first 7 months of use.

My question: Is there a way to know if my stock springs already need to be replaced, or do they last for the life of the car? I just want to make sure I do not install new shocks on dead springs...

My G has 80K miles on it.

Thanks!

your springs are fine

agreed w/malady. Stock springs are insanely strong, I suspect you'd have to drive off a cliff to possibly ruin them.

Another enigma solved...!

Got it...
Thanks again!!

I've seen springs break/sag over time. It's pretty obvious if they're cracked, but the way to tell if they're sagging is to remove everything from the car, park on a flat surface and verify that the car is sitting even.
