Anybody that has lowering springs

I have the eibach sportlines on my car right now. I have had blown shocks/struts all the way around for about a year now (I guess I've just been lazy) but has anybody ever heard or have there springs sag? I just seems like my car is a lot lower then what it should be. If anybody has had this let me know I just want to know if my springs are sagging. Thanks

Cody

When shocks blow, they have no pressure and no longer hold the car up. So the car sags. Buy new shocks. The springs aren't sagging, they're supporting the whole weight of the car without any help.
