What do you guys do with your stock springs?

So, with so many of us getting aftermarket lowering springs, I am wondering what everyone does with the stock springs... Sell em on ebay? Keep em? Toss em?

I tied them to the bottom of my shoes and bounce on them. Makes me jump higher.

Thinking about making a mattress soon though.

Great, now the border patrol will have to keep an extra eye out for flying illegals with springs attached to their shoes trying to jump over the fence.

Do you have any aftermarket suspension components (ie springs)? What type of roads do you drive in? What area are you from? What type of weather/temp do you drive your Camry in? Too many variables. But if you need new shocks you will notice the extra bounciness from the springs.

Them bastards took my idea. No matter, I got Corolla springs and we all know how much higher I can jump with those.

Possibly Ebay or classifieds?

If not, find a friend or someone who can use them in their car.
