13yr old stock springs

My 13yr old springs in the RS with 145k...how much of a drop do you think the car has seen since it was new?

My reason for asking--I'm going to get new springs/shocks next year and want to know if I can buy a Pro-Kit (~1" drop) but not lose any ground clearance compared to what I'm at now. Thanks

Crap...my T56 crossmember scrapes on speed bumps and such, so I really can't afford any more ground clearance.

Front struts are 1yr old, who knows about the rears. 16" wheels with 245/50/16 rubber.

What are they out of and how many miles? I'd love to see your car. If I can get my mom to let me take out her eclipse (I'm 16 and she doesn't trust me...) then maybe we can meet up somewhere.
