Is my w124 springs and shocks gone?

I am using Eibach springs and Bilstein shocks on my w124 for the past 3 years...

Of late, my car has been rather soft and weak when crossing bumps and pot holes .... i can often hear the mud flap or the exhaust mid section grinding the ground ....

my tyre to fender difference is only 3cm approx..

i think i need to upgrade to the Sach Performance Kit, but how do i justify that the current shocks and springs are goners?

any experience....

Well, your Bilstein's have a Lifetime warranty.
Not sure about the Eibach springs.
You could pull off a couple of shocks & test them.
I find it hard to believe that either one would be worn out in just 3 years.

brought it to the service center today, and they say it's fine... just that my car is lowered and the shocks are not really the racing spec type.. *oh well.. get to save some $$$ ... end..
