Message	welp, just dropped 1k$ to courtesyparts.com for new shocks, as well as new front springs. I purchased the new front springs due to the fact that my front camber and caster are out of spec. I figure my springs are probably sagging after 150k miles. They sent me an e-mail saying that the front springs are special order or backorder. Basically, what I'm asking, are sagging springs a common problem with out of spec front alignment? Should I keep the order intact or remove the new front springs from the order?
