Hotchkis springs sagging?
ive had these springs on the car for about 3.5 years and the tokico hp (blues). what you guys think of this my front scraps just making a turn..
That's abnormal for sure. Mine sag somewhat, but it's even front and rear. Your front struts are probably blown. This is how mine sits on Hotchkis springs and stock struts after about the same length of time.
Well there is alittle more to the story. My rear is completely gutted has been for along time.
As to blown strut to the best of my knowledge don't effect ride height. The main factor of height is the springs which I noticed the coating is worn off and slightly rusted.

The gutted rear of the car may be your problem. The weight of your engine may have sagged your front so much because there's very little counterweight in the back.
If I were you, I'd swap out my springs/struts for something more stable/less susceptible to sagging.
Perhaps a new set of adjustable coilovers. That way, if there's any sagging in the future, you could fairly easily adjust and even it out.

Well yes they are TRD, spell check on my phone converted trd->red. Ironically they are red. I will put them on for now unless during install i find my struts are blown. Then i guess i would have no choice but to drop $1200 on some tein ss-p, also on order are energy suspension matrer bushing set.
I have this exact same issue. I'm on hotchkis springs and tokico shocks, and my trunk has also been somewhat gutted for a while. I've been on the springs for about 4 years with stock shocks, and the tokicos for about 6 months.
My springs seem to be losing their springiness(?) as I am now scraping in the front on dips and bumps in the road, and my rear will constantly scrape in the rear when I have any weight in them.
I've been meaning to get my fenders rolled, but now I'm thinking of replacing my springs, since they seem to be rusting all around, and the coils on the back springs are practically touching. Unfortunately, I love my ride height.
Any suggestions?

Driver front side is the lowest passengers rear corner is significantly higher. I have been on them for 3 years now with tokico shocks. The left side of the car is definatly lower overall than the right side. The springs settled unevenly I think.
