Original IROC Springs
It's been a while.
I used to own an '87 IROC with L98 and T-tops. I bought it new and owned it for 16 years. At some point, I replaced the factory springs with Eibach springs. I regretted that decision, but decided it was too much work to switch them back.
Any way, while moving to a new home, I rediscovered my original springs. I kept them because I figured that genuine, original IROC springs would be hard to find one day and someone would appreciate getting a good set. Well, I have such a set and would like to see it go to a good home. However, I don't know that there's any significant market out there for them. This is essentially a "what's it worth" question, not so much to maximize any "profit", but to determine if it's worth the cost to advertise, pack, and ship them. Perhaps they're essentially worthless and I need to just ditch them.

Re: Original IROC Springs
I usually price really good used parts at about 50% of new. You can get replacement springs from MOOG for cheap. Performance lowering springs cost quite a bit more. I'd maybe blend the two and go around 70% of Moog and see what happens.
