I think that I have it worse. The previous owner of my 91 Legacy lowered the car by heating and compressing the coils. Now there are burn marks on the coils, the ride is shushy in corners, and I can't get an alignment until I put new coils on. And I think the shocks are messed up. And the previous owner didn't tell me how he lowered the car, only that he did. i think I have it worse that a messed up alighment, although that still sucks.

The corner weights are probably all screwed up, I'd ditch those springs pronto.

Yeah I know. I'm ditching the coils as soon as I can buy them. I just started my new job, so it might take a few weeks. I'm suprised sometimes that the coils that are on my Subee have lasted this long. Also the previous owner cut one of the coils when it wouldn't compress, and it was scraping the inside of my right front wheel well, I got that fixed. I would have gotten the coils replaced at that moment, but I didn't have the financial backing at that moment. Don't we all know how that feels.
