Default Is it worth trying to sell the stock suspension bits?

I'm not trying to skirt any classified rules here. So I'll just get this out of the way.. These are not for sale.

With ~250 miles on the car, I had the FRPP Handling pack installed. Springs, shocks, struts, front and rear sway bars and strut tower brace. The stock parts are taking up precious garage space.

Can people do anything useful with them to make them worth selling? Can they be swapped into a v6 or something? Dunno why anyone would use stock gt parts instead of aftermarket.

they are really only worth while to someone who had an oem bit blow up, but these cars are still too new and covered under warranty .. so there goes one potential buyer.

the other buyer is someone who has aftermarket suspension, got rid of their stock stuff, and is trading/selling the car, and they want to recoup some of their costs for their aftermarket value by reverting to stock parts and selling their aftermarket stuff separately... but again, newish car, not a lot of people doing this just yet.

if you sit on it for a couple of years you may be able to unload it : P
