Spring pads are rubber and springs are steel, so one "going bad" does not correlate to the other one "going bad" in any known way.
The springs do support the body weight, but not exactly at ride height. The rear struts contain fluid under pressure, which brings and keeps the rear at the factory correct ride height.
Did you flush the system thoroughly with at least two liters of the proper fluid?
The ride height can be changed slightly by adjusting the connecting rod on the SLS valve.
