There does not appear to have any noticeable sagging in rear or unevenness side to side, even after measuring. Would reusing these be a problem to longevity or reliability? I do intend to drive this car, but would like to keep as many original parts as I can. What would rebuilding these accomplish other than a chance to detail?
