I'm trying to figure out how this happened. I have the coilover kit on agxs. Does anyone know where is can find replacement springs for the kit or do you guys think i should just dump the coilover kit and drop some springs in there. Comment on any advantages or disadvantages using either.

Uhh, that's normal at full droop. You must have your car cranked very low.

Yes normal... When you have smaller length springs like lowering springs and coilovers they don't expand enough to fill out the full length of the strut when the load isrelieved.

Its the same reason why you don't usually need spring compressors when disasembling the struts after they are installed.

Just make sure when you drop it back sown to make sure the ring seats in the spring or it will pop after a turn...
