Having just put a set of front lowering springs on my car today (which I got for literally pence), I have been left with 2 sets of front standard springs.

Does anyone know what these would be worth to a scrap yard dealer, as I assume they are worth nothing on Ebay etc? Thought the steel the srpings are made from may be worth a couple of quid, and it gets rid of all 4 of 'em I guess?

Any info on this

Stick it in a corner, collect other bits of scarp metal as you go and when you have a decent amount, weigh it in, I dont think 15 lbs of old springs would be worth the petrol to drive it to the scrapman.

Fair enough. I may offer them for nowt to who wants them then if they can collect.

Any idea on what the going rates are currently as scrappies etc.?

100 quid a car maybe... it's fallen a bit again oi believe

springs are as said not worth the petrol. sorry

Hows that work out? My Pug weighs about 900kg (obviously not all metal), and say an Audi estate weighs 1500kg plus. Same for both cars?

I think it's now down to £70/ton.

Why don't you just attach the springs to your feet and use them as a fun mode of transport?

Now there's a plan!

my missus will have them its time for her new coil to be fitted

Yes! thats the ticket. That would be awesome. Imagine the fun you could have if you actually developed a working model based on car springs - You could leap buldings in a single bound.

Also, after a very short time, I am not sure you would be able to get by without them

I think you will need something lowered, the standard ones might be a stretch to far.
