Springs getting lower?
Is it possible for old lowering springs to start to make the car go lower by rusting? These springs are old and they have a couple little rust spots on them. It seems like my car is lower than it was about a year ago. The wheel gap is smaller now. I think I'm just gonna buy new ones.

Yeah they can, alot of the time they will do most of their settling in the beginning but some will continue to sag over time.

RS*R springs. Came with the car when I bought it about a year ago. They look like low quality. I'm not sure how long they have been on there but it looks like a long time.

fatigue yes, rust spots, probably not but if the rust is worse than that lol, hurry... In either case, if you really think they are sagging, it'll only get worse. I've not been hearing good noise about eibach lately.
