Hmmm... Springs shouldn't be "shot" unless they've been modded or cut (or damaged).

I have a set of stock springs off a 95 that are still nice, you're welcome to them if you pay shipping and a few bux for gas.

Shocks - Look for some KYB GR-2, they're cheap and good.

REALLY I JUST THOUGHT THEY WERE WORN OUT BECAUSE JUST DRIVING THE CAR CONSTANTLY SCRAPES THE GROUND. HOW HIGH SHOULD THE CAR RIDE OFF THE GROUND! COULD THERE BE SOMETHING ELSE WRONG ?

If your shocks are completely blown, then yeah, you'll scrape like that.

Get new shocks. GR2s are a nice OEM replacement.

Watch out for Caps Lock.

Blown shox shouldn't affect ride height, as they don't support the weight of the car.

Something else is wrong. Are you sure the springs weren't cut at some point?

I really have no idea i got the car for 400 dollars. I've just been fixing it up, so far I changed the motor and transmission besides other little things. But anyways i removed the right front coil spring and it didnt look cut, but the car is 14years old and pretty much the front suspension needs overhaul.
