According to "Tech Tips 700", page 38, item #265, I may be suffering from weak spring syndrome! I have attached photos showing the left rear, right rear, right rear fender clearance and a side view to show front to rear difference.

As near as I can tell, the springs currently on the car have two green marks. If I need new springs, what do you people recommend?
I have Bilstein shocks (do not know their current age) which came with the car.
