It has been suggested that the springs are worn out after 145,000 miles and need to be replaced. Do springs really wear out? If so, and if we don't want to lower the car, then what are the alternatives? I see a springs (for use in front or rear) on Pelican for $272 per pair. Is that likely to be the best alternative in terms of (1) being on a budget; (2) not lowering the vehicle; (3) being able to accomodate stock wieght plus 250lbs?

Separately, it has been observed that the rear brake lights flicker when the brake pedal is depressed rather than staying lit. Is the likely culprit the electrrical switch at the pedal?
