hi ferdman, thanks for the heads up. i dont think the springs are shot, just well worn in. lol i know my struts are shot. i've replaced the front end exept for the control arm bushings, struts and springs. control bushings are decent and should last untill this summer, car has 157 thousand miles on her and im making my way to the rear components as well. the rear is really bouncy, but might just be due to bad shocks. but i figured if i can get some at a reasonable price then i might as well replace em also.
