Uh oh-- I think my eibachs have sagged.

I got a used eibach with about 50,000 miles, and I believe the rear left one has sagged. Anyone has any experience on dealing with eibach on warranty and stuff?

Do you not have aftermarket struts? If not you could have blown the OEM one... that is very likely.

Struts have nothing to do with ride height. All the weight of the car is supported by the springs, not the strut. All the strut does is dampen the rate of the spring over bumps. If your car is sagging, it's the spring.
