Coil springs need replaced?

The rear passenger tire rubs the fender sometimes when I hit a bump and the car bounces. I know I need new shocks as I just drug it out of my backyard after having it sit for 6 years...but since the other side doesnt do it do you guys think I need new coil springs as well?

yes. shocks alone will not fix the issue. with the age of the springs, the car is actually lower than stock and there is very little tension in them. here's where i replaced springs on a third gen and what happened.

the rears are very easy to replace

Ah wow thats a huge difference. I've replaced shocks/struts all the way around on a 4th gen but never really worked on a 3rd yet.

replacing the rear on a 3rd is the same as it is on the 4th
