Do i need new coils?

Getting my dampers rebuilt at the moment and when i took the springs off i noticed a little bit of corrosion. Will this be fine or should i buy new springs. This is on the robispec clubsports. which are 8k/9k







I would say i wouldn't mind buying some springs but i just found out the swifts would be like ~450 for a set! Yikes!

not sure if the pics are working....

Why are you having the dampers rebuilt? Just asking

Also, the rust is ok. Just clean up, maybe a little paint or rust inhibitor to protect them.

No, i sent them off to KW. I figured since they are the ones that manufacture them, they should be able to do the job just as good? Plus its 100 bucks less than what Robi charges.

Well a rebuild shouldn't touch the valves, right? And even if they do, they manufacture the Robi's, so i think i'll be ok.
