Question On Suspension Sagging
So heres the deal. I'm running on tokico blues struts and springs right now with 50K on them. I'm looking into lowering it a little more. The setup now is only a 1.3 drop and my plan is to put s techs on the tokicos for a little more drop. The s techs are on the way but I just went out and checked my current ride height out and heres what I discovered: I have a little better than a 2 finger gap all the way around except on the drivers rear which has a 1 finger gap. Now my question is, could this be the strut? If I remember right from my auto tech class in HS (a long time a go, LOL), the spring controls the height, and if its lower than it should be, the spring is sagging. If this is correct I will be fine swapping springs but if its the strut I will just have to buy new struts for the s-techs. The ride isn't bouncy whatsoever and If I do the bounce test, it rebounds back without much at all.
Thanks in advance!

I would replace the shocks anyway, because Tokico HP's can't handle more than a very mild drop. The S Techs will probably kill them, or finish them off anyway.
Suspension "sagging" is more than likely stock rubber bushings tearing, not actually a spring problem.
