and go new. I worry about buying used suspension cause you never know how its been driven.anyone have experience with used suspension? I'm thinking Bilstein and HR combo for about $795....

IMO, springs are fine. Buy shocks new.

springs don't really wear out- shocks definitely do. Also, the lifetime warranty of shocks doesn't carry over to the second owner.
