86 them or keep them? Maybe I can add it to the dual mass flywheel box but yet again, why clutter.

I kept mine for 4 years before tossing them. Do yourself a favor and 86 them right away.

They're currently serving guard duty as attic sentries.

I am not sure why, but I still have mine. Maybe I'll donate them to some artist who will make them part of a sculpture featuring auto parts!

I'd make sure they aren't RoW M030's before tossing them. Check your color codes. Otherwise, right into the recycling bin they go!
edit: oops, didn't see your sig. In that case, please feel free to jump right to recycling bin comment.

Paid the bill to Rennsport, left the springs with them. Gone in 60 seconds.

Still have mine - maybe I'll clean 'em up and use them for some kind of funky sprung coffee table.

Or I'll probably throw them out.

They really have zero value....as springs that is. I, like others, kept them for awhile...then threw them away. It was very liberating, if you know what I mean

Still have the entire stock suspension in the PSS9 box in the basement. The PCar is the only place where I am a pack rat and keep everything that isn't broken when I take it off the car.

I guess it is a bit silly, but just can't toss them yet.

Darn, when I saw this thread I thought I may have a home for my old springs. No such luck. They'll continue to collect dust in the depths of the basement.

I've got some projects intended for mine - involving a torch and a forge :-)

If you've got old springs or torsion bars hanging around in NVa I'll happily take them off yer hands.
