D2 Coilovers put them on or sell them?

Hey everyone, havent posted a new thread in a long time and sorry for the long rant. (SKIP TO BOTTOM FOR QUESTION) Been apart of this community for so long since tony the tiger and wraith and camrypunk were regular visitors who posted everyday and everyone has been so helpful but now im wondering if i should keep modding my camry or just call it quits. I bought a set of D2 coilovers over a year ago and havent ever put them on, I also have a set of racing hart evo rims that i put on occassionally but have kept them off for almost a year. I was really excited that more people were doing stuff with their camrys in the area, I think I was apart of the first group being in Capital Camry Car Club now everyone who has apart of that already left except Jon of course who is still sporting his camry (I think). Now a days I just am not that excited anymore about my car. Maybe cause its old, maybe cause theres so little support from aftermarket product manufacturers , I dunno. On the other note its probably because I'm getting a new car (not a camry) but I still love my camry its treated me so wll over the years. Now for the actual point of this thread.
Question: I want to keep this car a daily driver but which is better?keep the D2s and put on my rims or is that just asking for trouble in the winter and should i sell them? How long have peoples coilovers lasted?

well being from CP i have nad no troubles with the winters here. they really arent that bad man. id be more concerned about you tread pattern then how low you are. as for clearance thats a concern but if you dont have a body kit and arent slammed then id hold on to them. the handeling they provide is so much better then spring /shock. plus you can raise the car up when ya feel like it.

Install them, biggest bang for the buck mod for any car is suspension. You won't regret it (as long as your spring rates aren't too rediculous, like the people running 14kg/mm springs on a street car).
