Default Sell my stock suspension?

Hey guys... what do you figure I could get for an 08 stock suspension (on ebay or otherwise)? It will have less than 500 miles on it when it comes off.

Will having the PSS9's affect resale value when I sell the car ... should I keep the stock suspension to reinstall at that time?

Cheers

IMO selling a car stock will get you more money. Especially when you take aftermarket parts out and sell them separately. You hardly ever get any return on modifications. I have put well over 10k in performance parts into my eclipse gst and I doubt I will sell the whole car with everything for over 6 grand.

I figure the Bilstiens would be shot in 100k just as the stock suspension parts would be... am I correct to think this? So those parts are swapped out anyway at that time? If thats the case I think I will just unload the stock suspension...

Or am I out to lunch on this one guys?

Personally if I ever decided to swap out the stock suspension for something aftermarket I would always keep the stock so I could just switch back if I wanted to.
As for longevity that I really don't know.
Since you said you would probably sell it at some point, why not just keep all stock parts you swapped out so you don't have to go searching for them when you want to sell it. This would help maximize resale.

If you have the room to store them, keep the stock shocks...

Intent always changes when something eventually better comes along.

But at the same time, quite easy to repurchase your stock suspension back if you ever need it at the same price you probably sold it for.
