Default Spring wear. . .

Just so everyone knows I did research it and found nothing at least with the searches I typed "spring wear, spring replacement, ect." I was wondering if i need to replace my s-tech's because two of them have been riding on blown struts for about 5 thousand miles and I am going to install new TRD struts. I figure that if the springs have been taking more stress due to no struts helping with rebound then they might be more worn or saggy than the others. I am mostly concerned abut an uneven ride hight or harsh ride if I don't replace the springs when I install the new struts. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I thought about coil overs but they are too expensive for me. The struts came out to $490 and I figured a new set of s-techs would run me somewhere around $170-200. So that would bring me to somewhere around $660-690. I know that there are some cheap coil overs for around $850 but right now I can't spend any more than necessary. I might put my old htechs back on that I still have but I really love the stech drop. I'm just going to go ahead and order stechs from assault tech performance, they have them for $169 shipped. Thanks for your input.
