Bad lowering springs?

Bad lowering springs?
A little help here.. When I bought my car about a year ago it already had lowering springs on it with 235/40/18s. Scrubbed when I had people in the back and over big bumps, no huge deal. I flarred the fenders a little, helped some. But over time the scrubbing has gotten a lot worse, especially on my passenger side. I've noticed when the car is sitting with no one in it, the right rear spring looks completely compressed and the left one almost completely. Might be dumb question, but I'm not suspension expert, they shouldn't be like that?

Nearly all after market springs available for our cars are bad quality and have major spring bind. They also "settle" over time which is a bad thing. Only spring I'll vouch for is Powell's YYZ. Available from Powell direct or through CED (crateenginedepot.com). YYZ's don't bind, have a lifetime warranty and make the car handle like a dream

Powells and Road Magnets are really the only good options over stock for a lowering spring.... if you're looking to increase handling and overall performance.
