Do used springs cause any issues?

Hi,

I know this is a stupid question but I thought I'd still ask lol. Does buying and installing used set of spring cause any issues? I'm not sure what exactly to look for when buying a used set of springs (eibach in particular)? There might be mileage on it but how does that impact the springs overall?

Thanks!

+1 unless the springs are crusty/rusted dont get them. Springs usually have a million mile warranty. (for most name brands)
