    I remember the days of waiting on hold for ages just to be told they had the assembly from year xx12 and year xx14 which are identical but not year xx13 which was of course, different. Rinse, repeat with the next yard.

    The New Beetle springs I got raised the rear and they were $25.00 each from a local junkyard from a 2006.

    I know spring technology, a little bit.

    I think a spring is good forever unless you push it past it's limits, ie, you compress it beyond design specs, or it exceeds the number of cycles the underlying metal can withstand.

    Can a spring be tested freehand in any way? Am I better off getting a newer spring with likely less mileage and fewer cycles or does it matter that much?

    Your blue car looks awesome. But do I detect a hint of an FRS in that picture?
