How much you getting them for? They wear out some sure, but i would say they will be better than what you have. If price is right, go for it!

$50 for front and rear fj springs off an 07 FJ with 60k miles.
I have a chance to buy whole set almost new of fj springs with shocks front and rear for $120 . I was going to go with the older fj springs for $50 then get 5100s all around and set it to .85. Hoping that will all work out.

I'd spend that $50 on some springs

Do the springs plus new 5100s.
Shocks will be blown at 60k miles. I've done used shocks twice, and two times they had to be rebuilt despite being "low mileage". FYI these were Bilstein Monotubes.
You can get brand new springs from Advance Auto for 63 bucks for the rear and 86 bucks for the front. Plus 15%off through this week and get a $25 gift card. If you arent in a huge hurry, you could split in between two transactions and use the gift card towards one of the sets. Would come out to about 100. It would have to be very low miles and be pretty cheap for me to justify running used suspension parts.
Mike are these the MOOG coils springs?

Pretty sure they are moog. I have them for the rear and like everyone else who have em. They don't sit flush. Not a dealer breaker as they seemed to be doing fine.
That's the thing that is holding me back from the moog, I think I would worry about it too much.

I've been checking on them everyday and took it on some bumpy fire trails just to see what would happen. But they seems to be doing just fine. Although I do have Fj rear coils coming soon as my back up. :dizzy:
Yes, they are.
About them not seating in the rear, a little muscle and time spent cleaning up the spring seat, and they WILL seat just fine.
