question for suspension gurus
I was thinking about replacing my stock shocks and struts with GR2s and planning to keep stock SE springs. I drive on snow quite a bit so I need the clearance. anyways, I was wondering if springs get worn out or permanently compressed. The rear of my car seems really saggy. I know the front fender well is cut slightly higher, giving the illusion of a lowered rear but my max seems like its beyond that. Is it possible that I overloaded my trunk and changed the shape of the rear springs? Or can this be caused by blown shocks?
also, do I need new KYB bumpstops to maintain/increase travel?
thanks guys (and girls).

Springs usually last the life of the vehicle.
You don't need to increase suspension travel, you need to keep contamination off the piston. KYB Dust covers cost less then OEM and work just as well. Up to you which ones you use, both will work just fine for your application.
